lyrics

I'm sorry for the things I said
And how it all played out instead
Of how I saw it go down in my mind
I tried to give you everything
In hopes that it would let you sing
And find the voice that you have deep inside
I hope that you can one day see
How it maybe could have been
And what I really saw in us sometime
Everything I ever did
Or at least the very best of it
Was all to help you try to hit your stride

I saw something inside of you
That showed me all the things you'd do
And all the ways you'd help me find my place
You helped me see inside myself and
Made me push for better health
You gave me something softer to embrace
The spark you lit inside of me
Ignited what has always been
A passion that was lost amongst this race
So if you can, remember this
And maybe then look back on it
With fondness and a little bit of grace

Remember all the joy we shared
All the ways we showed we cared
Everything we did to help each other grow
In time I hope you understand
It never really was my plan
To ever let this get so overblown
I should have made my choices and
I really should have stuck with them
I should have done my best to let you know
And as I made this fall apart
I really should have spared your heart
I hope I can be better than I've shown
