You got mad
I said I was sorry
Now I'm sad
I just worry

I didn't want to lose you
So I tried to hide
I thought I knew the right thing to do
But now you think I lied

I need to get back your trust
I know I must
But how?
Can't you see I know now
I know how to be honest
I know what to say
I will do my best
Just come back my way

I can't change the past
I just wanted our friendship to last
It's not even a big deal
Though that's not how you and I feel
You are upset
I just want us to forget
I don't feel guilt
Just regret
I feel myself wilt
Under the way that I fret

You left me here with tears streaking down my face
But maybe things will get better at a slow pace

Please, just be okay
I wish I could make it up to you today
It's my fault I know
But that doesn't mean I want you to go

I'm sitting on this chair
Fiddling with my hair
Wishing for the day to come
When the pain will numb

The feeling of being covered with grime
Will have to fade with time
I feel lonely
If only
I hadn't messed up
