I thought I understood your pain,
please forgive me, I was wrong.
There was once a time I would have,
but I see now its been too long.

To see the tears well in your eyes,
brings me crashing to the ground.
To think I am responsible,
causes guilt just too profound.

I did not say the words I said,
to try and cause you pain.
But to comfort and console you,
give you shelter from the rain.

I came to say goodbye to you,
and to bury my lost friend,
'cause you never know how short life is,
until you reach the end.

So please forgive me leaving
for its time that I was gone
I will carry you both in my heart
so you'll never be alone.
