I'm sorry that I can't read your mind

can't know exactly how you feel

I'm sorry I can't be the one

who's made of stone and steel.

Sorry for not being kind

or listening when I should

I'm sorry I'm not perfect

but I'm trying to be good.

I'm sorry for the words kids say

and how they tear you down,

I'm sorry I'm not always there

To pick you up off of the ground.

Because if I could be your savior

to save you from your pain

If I could heal your scars

I'd do it every day.

I wish the world was made of glass

that never cracked or broke

I wish humans were beautiful

And kindness wasn't smoke.

I'm sorry that you're hurting

That you think you'll never be okay

And though I can't always understand

I still can love you despite your pain
