I am sorry
I'm sorry I wasn't there to tell you no
I'm sorry I wasn't there to tell you so
I'm sorry I didn't pick up the phone
I'm sorry I left you by yourself; all alone
I’m sorry that I could never be enough
I'm sorry you thought death was better than handcuffs.
I'm sorry I didn't know what to do
I'm sorry I moved and left you
I'm sorry I didn't stand up to them
I'm sorry I didn't know how to talk then
I'm sorry I ran when you told me to
I'm sorry I didn't stay to fight too
I'm sorry I did nothing
I'm sorry I kept running
I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry
I am so sorry
I'm sorry I didn't know what to do.
I'm sorry I got up and left you
I'm sorry I wasn't strong enough to fight
I'm sorry I couldn't be the one to set things right
I'm sorry that people don't understand
I'm sorry that the police don't give a damn
Why did I leave in such a hurry
Please, know I am so sorry
I'm sorry your teachers shut you out
I'm sorry that it seemed no one cared about.
I'm sorry I didn't even try to take a stand
I'm sorry I Ieft and didn't hold your hand
I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry
I'm sorry I didn't stay out with you longer
I'm Sorry the nights didn't last forever
I'm sorry the shots were too loud
I'm sorry I couldn't stop the sound
I'm sorry I couldn't stop the crying
I'm sorry I couldn't stop anything
None of the crying, none of the anger
not even with the worry
It doesn't matter now
because I can't tell you I'm sorry
