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,

Your methods aren’t great,

Even if its late, 

You can always change,

A arrow once shot never comes back,

But the person its hits, can heal again,

Sorry
