SORRY

SORRY
 

 

 

Sorry I didn’t know the things that would make you happy.

Sorry I didn’t know the melodies that would make you smile.

Sorry I wasn’t all you wanted me to be.

But I did try.

Sorry your life had no rainbows,

But neither did mine.

Happy I was there when you needed me to be.

Happy my love was strong to see you through.

Sad you never did see it. Sad you never knew
