Be my friend
I beg you now
I know I've done wrong
Forgive me, I beg

I've cast judgment
Believing it was right
Scolding those close
And preventing those far

I'm alone now
Left to judge myself
I understand now my cruelty
And I'm sorry

My upbringing
My religion
My childhood
No... it was me

You may one day forgive me
But I, myself
Will never be able to
Forgive my transgressions

I'm alone at last
Watching my past friends celebrate
Such pride
I'm sorry I didn't see sooner
