I'm sorry I made you cry On all those lonely nights gone by. I'm sorry you had to fit in With crowds you didn't want within. I'm sorry I rejected you, Lied to you, hated you too. I'm sorry I let others treat You like a worthless, downtrodden beat. I'm sorry I pushed when you were weak: When eyes were heavy, knees so meek. I said to live with armor strong, To not trust people, to just go along. I thought it best to shield your heart, So pain and suffering wouldn't start. But now I see, I've been unkind, It's time to change, and peace to find. I'll look into the mirror clear, And apologize for all the fear. I'll seek forgiveness from my soul, To make myself complete and whole. You’ve loved me through the thick and thin, Despite the turmoil I put you in. So now I'll love you, learn to grow, To live a life that’s free to show. No longer bound by fear and doubt, We'll stand apart, we'll shout it out. This is a reminder – To love myself, to love you too. For in the end, it’s plain to see, The one who matters most is me.

Mirror Apologies
I'm sorry I made you cry On all those lonely nights gone by. I'm sorry you had to fit in With crowds you didn't want within. I'm sorry I rejected you, Lied to you, hated you too. I'm sorry I let others treat You like a worthless, downtrodden beat. I'm sorry I pushed when you were weak: When eyes were heavy, knees so meek. I said to live with armor strong, To not trust people, to just go along. I thought it best to shield your heart, So pain and suffering wouldn't start. But now I see, I've been unkind, It's time to change, and peace to find. I'll look into the mirror clear, And apologize for all the fear. I'll seek forgiveness from my soul, To make myself complete and whole. You’ve loved me through the thick and thin, Despite the turmoil I put you in. So now I'll love you, learn to grow, To live a life that’s free to show. No longer bound by fear and doubt, We'll stand apart, we'll shout it out. This is a reminder – To love myself, to love you too. For in the end, it’s plain to see, The one who matters most is me.
