Sorry
that I've blocked your calls
for months on end
but I still listen to the voicemails
that you send.
Sorry
that sometimes I'm mean,
treating you like jewelry
I've used to numb the pain
and all of the grief.
Sorry
that I change my mind
so frequently each day,
never meaning to use you
or pull you every which way.
Sorry
that I still know your birthday,
that my favorite songs became
your favorites too,
and that just won't fade away.
Sorry
that I couldn't be better for you
and that I still can't believe
anyone could ever
be in love with me.
Sorry
everything wasn't better
and I was so naive and blind
to the way we were
always leaving each other behind.
Sorry
that I run when things are good
and stay when things are bad,
I guess I never understood
what we had.
Sorry
that I flinch every time
you lay your eyes on me
because you do it like no one else—
like I'm someone you can please.
Sorry
that I broke your heart,
my ignorance strikes again
because things didn't get better
and you couldn't see the end.
Sorry
that I couldn't love you
or be better for you, baby
but someone will love you,
it just won't be me.
I really appreciate comments and feedback! :)
