Sorry for the Shadows

Just a whisper in the dark,

I know I broke your heart,

Tried to save what we had,

But I played my part sad, oh...

You gave me your heart, laid it on the line,

Every sweet word, I thought it was divine,

But deep in my soul, there was a restless fight,

Didn’t love myself, how could I hold you tight?

Lost in the shadows, I couldn’t see the light,

While you were loving me, I was losing my fight.

Thought I knew what love was, thought I knew the game,

But I stumbled along, only causing you pain,

You stood by me, kept me safe from the storm,

Now I’m left regretting, when will I feel warm?

I’m so sorry, love, for the way that I fell,

I didn’t mean to hurt you, can’t you tell?

You gave me everything, took care of my needs,

But I broke the trust, oh baby, I’m sorry indeed.

Hold on, I’ll make it right,

Wish I could turn back time tonight,

All those empty words that left a scar

Just know I never meant to push you far.

You were the good man in a world gone cold,

Paid my bills, made me feel bold,

Yet my own demons wouldn’t let me go,

In my twisted heart, I didn’t know love could flow.

You said I talk shit, but it’s not how I feel,

Just wanted the truth, didn't mean to conceal,

I’m drowning in sorrow, can't you hear my plea?

Take my hand again, can we set us free?

I’m so sorry, love, for the way that I fell,

I didn’t mean to hurt you, can’t you tell?

You gave me everything, took care of my needs,

But I broke the trust, oh baby, I’m sorry indeed.

So here I stand, no longer a fool,

Learning to love again, learning the rules,

I promise to change, I promise to try,

Just know that I’m sorry, I’ll love you 'til I die.
