Sorry
When will you finally say sorry,
We know you love us,
But what you did was wrong,
But I want you to learn something with this song,
Sometimes the kinder, less harsh way is better,
It doesn’t have to be fancy like a letter,
But sometimes, you have to let go,
Watch us learn, and watch us grow,
We know you mean well,
Now there is something for me to tell,
I am strong,
And you’re wrong,
I’m not a little kid anymore,
So open the door,
And let me be free,
Because I’m no longer a little baby,
I can stand on my own,
I’m not a delicate princess on the throne,
I may be your pearl,
But no longer am I a little girl,
I know you do it because you love me,
Because you can’t bear to see me hurt,
I’m not weak,
I can speak,
I will stand tall,
I will not fall,
You are very wrong,
I am strong,
I will prove you wrong,
Even if its late,
You can always change,
A arrow once shot never comes back,
But the person its hits, can heal again,
Sorry
