I will grab the hand of the little girl I left behind and tell her I'm sorry
Look her in her eyes and tell her I didn't mean it
That I apologize for leaving her for him
Putting her on the back burner for a cheap thrill
Allowing him to steal her innocence for his pleasure
And I'm sorry
I'm sorry for letting go when I should have held on
For denying you when you needed me
Because he should have loved me better
I should have demanded better
I should not have let him run you out of me
To kill my spirit, and along with my spirit,
You
And I'm sorry
Sorry for looking in the mirror and telling you that you weren't worth it
For making you cry for hours on end
For making you wait by the phone
For looking at you with sunken in, sullen eyes and telling you that he loves you
Knowing that he didn't and never could
And I'm sorry
Sorry for letting him have you
For letting him have me
For letting him have us
And
I'm
Sorry
