Needing Forgiveness


As I look back on my life My eyes start to water And a quiet sadness falls over my heart My mind filled with the wrongs I've done I remember all the hurt I caused you And the tears start to fall to the floor I try to think of a reason why But none of them are good enough There are no excuses for the way I acted I know you'll never forget the pain And the hurting just don't disappear I hope one day you'll forgive me And get past what I've done I have yet to forgive myself The fear of hatred is holding me back I'll feel more complete if the day ever comes When you finally forgive me I hate the way I made you feel But I can only start my saying sorry I know there is more to be said and done I just hope you can get past the pain
