"Apology"

A Song

By heaven youngPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

I wrote this song after contemplating dropping a friend who kept hurting me, no matter how many times she promised she wouldn’t—untimely, I can’t bring myself to do it. I called the song “Apology” because it’s my way of indirectly apologizing to her for being a clingy, sensitive friend. She gets mad when I write songs about her, but it’s my coping method. So here I am.

I’ve been through some things that

have made me who I am

I can’t control it

I don’t want to change it

I can be a little clingy

I’m sorry for being so needy

But I just want your approval

And I know it can be so annoying

I know it gets on your nerves

I know it’s so hard to be my friend

I’m sure it even hurts

So consider this my apology

I’m sorry for being me

I can’t change, I am this way

Because it’s how I’m made

I’ve been through some tough shit

and that’s why I’m like this

I just want to be enough

In your eyes and that’s why I

seek for your approval

I just want to know that I am good enough

I know, it can get hard

I know, we can’t change who we are

And I want you to know

I’m sorry for having all these broken scars

And a messed up, torn up heart

And I know it can be so annoying

I know it gets on your nerves

I know it’s so hard to be my friend

I’m sure it even hurts

So consider this my apology

I’m sorry for being me

I can’t change, I am this way

Because it’s how I’m made

I’ve been through some tough shit

and that’s why I’m like this

I just want to be enough

In your eyes and that’s why I

seek for your approval

I just want to know that I am good enough

Let me apologize

For my actions

I cannot make it right

It just happens

I know and I know and I know

I make up excuses

But I mean it

Listen to me when I say

I’m sorry

So consider this my apology

I’m sorry for being me

I can’t change, I am this way

Because it’s how I’m made

I’ve been through some tough shit

and that’s why I’m like this

I just want to be enough

In your eyes and that’s why I

seek for your approval

I just want to know that I am good enough

When did we start to fade?

When did all the obstacles come our way?

Did we give up and walk away?

Am I the only one who cares?
