My Apology

Lyrics and music by Paul Beach

(c) Paul Beach 2005

To the world I’m sorry I failed you

I wanted only to write the song

That would be so magical

I would brighten your lives

You would listen over and over.

You could never get enough

Showing your newfound joy

With the rest of the world

I’m Sorry

(I tried in vain to bridge this distance between us)

To the world I’m sorry I failed you

I want only to conceive the prayer

That would be so profound

It would bring us all together

To be that person you might look up to

Remind of reasons to be happy

And that it’s good to want to live

Forever!

I’m sorry

(I was never good enough to save you from yourself)

To myself I’m sorry I failed you

I never became who you wanted to be

And one by one I’ve let all my sunsets

Sink beyond the sea

And all my youthful ideals

Good intentions left undone

And whatever values I might have been

Are gone!

I’m sorry

(I couldn’t shine bright enough to be a star)

I’m sorry
