No More Apologies, No More Sorry

No More Apologies, No More Sorry

I can apologize for being me
I can say I'm sorry for what I do
It can be my fault for no more we
I can accept blame even if it's not true
Because let's face it, I'm stronger than you

I apologize because I love
I'm sorry I'm not perfect
I regret making war over doves
That I treat you with neglect
Deep down I have the utmost respect

But I tire of apologizing for me
I'm only sorry when building us
If there exists no more we
Then I'd rather you go under the bus
What's it matter, if not I, you must

Then I apologize being so selfish
I'm sorry for being so bad
Revenge is a very cold dish
None of it makes me glad
In fact, my actions turn me sad

I apologize for being right
I'm sorry for being wrong
But you have no blame in sight
Your silence is forever long
You have no idea the power of your song

No more apologies I'm through
You're not sorry, you haven't a clue
You seem to seek power in all you do
I can no longer tell what's really true
My feelings, my thoughts, rent is due

I cannot apologize
I refuse to be sorry for me
See things through my eyes
Maybe then you'll truly see
How I felt and wanted us to be

I take back my apologies
I'm sorry for nothing
You belong with the birds, bees, trees
I refuse to hear you sing
No more pain I allow you to bring

I apologize for these thoughts
I'm sorry I can't rise above
Please let's just draw lots
Or confess it wasn't love
Is it you or my bloody glove

The truth is it's both of us
If you hadn't given up so easy
If I had shaken off the rust
But we weren't ready to please
In the end, it simply didn't work
