I'm Sorry

By Bruce Clifford

I'm sorry for lying to you
I'm sorry for what I put you through
For the rest of my years I will be trying to make things right
I'm sorry and I will tell you so day and night

I never intended to tell you lies
I know you're angry, I can see it in your eyes

I'm sorry for the hurt I have caused
I'm sorry for exposing my selfish flaws
For the rest of my life I will make things up to you
I'm sorry for the way I hurt you

Every day I am beating myself up
Every night I wish this was all a dream
I'm so sorry for everything

I'm sorry for not telling it to you straight
I'm sorry for letting my stories get in the way
Until the end of time I will make things right with you
I'm sorry for all I've put you through
I'm sorry and I will make things up to you
