I'm sorry I'm not what you wanted...
I'm not like her...
I'm not what you expected...
Or what I wish I were...
I'm not that clever...
Or that pretty girl...
I'm sorry I'm who I am...
And that I used to care...
Let me live... live my life alone...
Let me be... be a happy soul...
Let the light in the sky and the darkness swallow me whole...
Let me go... somewhere I can call home...
I'm sorry... because I let you down...
I made the wrong choice again...
I'm sorry what I did was wrong...
And we can no longer be friends... 2-23-2018
Your heart was a paper and I wrote wrong words...
I'm sorry because I scratched a lot...
Just to turn back time with all I've learned...
Correct my mistakes with all I've got...
I'm sorry for being in your life...
And for every word I ever said...
I'm sorry that I'm still alive...
I'm sorry that I'm not already dead...
I let my heart be a scratch paper...
For you to freely tear and cut...
I'm sorry that I can't be like her...
And try to be who I cannot...
