I messed up real bad , believe me i know
The regret i feel will forever show
Our love was the best, though you think it a lie
Everything else was true , even that final goodbye
Im not being selfish , i promise it's true
I'd give up my happiness, just to show you
The pain Ive caused will never reach it's end
But ill make it up , i'll help it mend
All im asking for one more chance
Please give my reaching hand one last glance
Sorry is just a word, but I'm trying to give it meaning
I'm doing my very best , but it seems as if I'm dreaming
I'm a brand new person, and i swear it's not a lie
If i cant have your love , i'd rather lay down and die
I know I'm not needed - it's the scariest feeling of all
I care so much, and yet my world is taking a fall
I hurt you so much , you're now doing the same
But i guess once again , ill take all of the blame
Our love was true, look back and think
Dig within your heart , please don't let this sink
You said that no disaster could destroy this bond
And this is a disaster that goes far beyond
But please, I'm the same person you grew to love
I made a big mistake , don't give me that final shove
You know everything about me , you know the real me
You find that impossible , but i promise you'll see
You really are the reason I'm still living
And for you , my life is still worth giving
Things have changed , but only for the best
Let me be your baby and help put this to rest
I'm not being Naive , i know i was wrong
I'm trying to make peace , i may not have very long
I rarely beg , bu I'm beggin' today
I'm on my knees trying to find a way
I want this to work , but if you really want me gone
I wont keep praying , and I'll try to move on
I've given you time , Ive expressed how i feel
Now its your turn to tell me , were your words real?
some of mine weren't , but i told you the truth
Now you tell me , are your's worth the sleuth?
If you really believed that i've never helped you out
Then tell me , ill be gone without one little shout
If you think for a second that i never really cared
You couldn't be more wrong , because i always dared!
I dared to care when you needed to confide
I dared to care when you just wanted to hide
The cut runs deeper then the words that i said
But the love in my heart runs deeper than any dread
If leaving me alone is the best thing for you
Then make sure it is , before you go through
You could shut me out , expose me to harm
And 6 months from now, id still welcome you wit open arms
You could hate my guts and let me know
But as i promised , i wouldn't let go
Ill never hurt you again, and the only way you'll see
Is if you open your eyes and let it be
To you my heart is always open wide
Wont you open yours a little and let me inside?
Ill never forget you , and ill love you till the end
cause no matter what happens you'll always be my best friend
WE have been through more than any other two
This is just an obstacle that we have to pass through
So please, Ive done my part , I'm finished pursuing
Now you tell me , was it worth doing....?
