I'm Sorry
It was your wish come true
A gift from me to you
The poisoned arrow flies
Falling down it petrifies
One minute can't delay
What mine lips must shall say
It never was my wish
Alas, son, I have missed
And I have meant to take the chance
But I blew it
And I forgot to take the time
And I'm sorry
All of the stakes collide
My lips were cold as ice
As I leaned close to you
My body traveled through
Tonight the end is near
I must shall face my fear
The spinning on it goes
The broken records flow
And I have meant to take the chance
But I blew it
And I forgot to take the time
And I'm sorry
As I fly past the record trees, the shattered pasts, and broken dreams
The music plays so tenderly, ignoring me, the way it ought to
Hide me from you
And I have meant to take the chance
But I blew it
And I forgot to take the time
And I'm sorry
Leaving you; the hardest thing
And I'm sorry
