Oh I'm sorry.
I didn't realize this made you uncomfortable.
Oh, I'm sorry I didn't realize my big nose
Was any of your business.

I'm sorry,
Youโ€™re right.
I never noticed it casts shadows all over my face--
****.
Its hard you know?
When you open my eyes to something I never saw before,
But thank you.  
For showing me

Oh I'm sorry.
I never knew my fat made you feel bad.
That it made you hate yourself,  
And made you wonder life.

I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to,
To make you feel nauseous.
I know how hard it is
And I'm sorry.

My gosh, I'm sorry.
Youโ€™ll have to forgive me.
I shouldn't take things so seriously.
My girlfriend tells me I'm too defensive,
That not everyone gets it,
So I am sorry.

You know,
I'm sorry.
I never really noticed,
That you're skin was too white and rich
To be dirtied by the likes of me.
That youโ€™re middle to upper classed family
Was offended that I even fathomed us being friends.

You're right.
I'm sorry.
I guess I'm just uneducated.
I'm sorry that I'll never understand what it is that makes you better than me.
