it seems like every time you see me,
you flip a penny.
will you be angry?
or will you be as sweet as honey?

i still remember that day
when you dressed me up
and looked at me as if i took out all of life's grey
and left you with lilacs and buttercups.

i still remember when
you gave me clothes for teddy
the smile on your face when you brought those out again,
the clothes from when i was a baby.

of course, everything was simpler then.
you didn't have to deal with my stupid mistakes
you didn't know i would become such a burden
i'm sorry that i caused all this ache.

i'm sorry i couldn't be better.
i'm sorry i couldn't hold onto the final thread
that held us together.
i'm sorry that there's nothing for us ahead.

i'm sorry.
