APOLOGY
Butterflies flying in the air
I loved you even when I let your hand free
Maybe your memories faded into nothing
But until today you are still in my head
Without carrying you back
I'll try to make you understand
You were there right before when
You said we were getting along fine
Maybe we were unknown to each other
Well I imagined I'd be quiet then
I didn't want to break the bubble
Yellow flowers growing in my house
I'm smoking clean oxygen and I promise
I won't let you get to the finish line
Without taking you back
For a little bit of time
And offering a sincere apology
I didn't meant to hurt you when I left
But if I did
from the moment it was an issue
I tried to talk to you
But words didn't express what I meant
I didn't know how to say no
When indeed I wasn't sure
From the moment it seemed important
I knew what I would do to you
And I'm sorry
I'm a masochist who can't fix things
until something extreme happens and
I'm not finished presenting evidence
I have a theory after you hear me
I'm sure your jaws will lock shut
I'm sorry
They say
Don't do the crime if you can't take the time
But a crime I did not commit
I'm paying for a mistaken choice
Fear I could not live with
and I'm sorry
I'm sorry I let you go.
