I find myself apologizing all the time When I do something wrong "I'm sorry," I messed up When I can't quite get my sentences out right "I'm sorry," I'm taking so much of your time Bumping into a stranger "I'm sorry," I was in your way Someone helping me eat "I'm sorry," I can't do this like I should be able to I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Even when I'm alone, nothing happens and still "I'm sorry," for taking up space It's one in the morning, I'm alone and I'm crying and muttering "I'm sorry." "I'm sorry." "I'm sorry," I lived and you didn't.
