So here I am writing you this letter

Looking for the words to make things better and

Every time I think I’ve finally found them

I find myself staring at a mountain

Of crumpled paper with ink stained hands

Broken promises and messed up plans

No idea how to get this through

All I know is I just gotta tell you

I never meant to say what’s on my mind

I wish that I could some how make things right

G F

There’s no excuse for everything I put you through

I never meant to laugh when I saw you cry

I know it’s kinda late to apologize

G F

I swear it’s true, I’m gonna make it up to you

C F

Sorry if you think it’s kind of shallow

But this guilt is getting hard to swallow

I don’t know what was going through my head

I take the blame for every tear you shed

I meant it good but it turned out bad

And it cost me the best thing I ever had

No idea how to get this through

All I know is I just gotta tell you
