Apologize
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
In the fury of the moment when the words of rath rang out
When my mind was filled with questions and my head was filled with doubt
I can still see all the sadness and the sorrow in your eyes
How can flowers live in darkness how can I apologize
For the blackness I've created in the world that used to shine
I've wilted all the roses and I've spoiled all the wine
Get out your magic pencil and erase the cloudy skies
Draw a picture of me saying I apologize
Give me back the words I spoke in haste
Give 'em back or love will go to waste give 'em back
[ ac.guitar ]
See the sunlight reappearing through the shrouds of darkened gloom
As I hear your words forgiving me and watch the flowers bloom
Have your arms refused to open have you served all your ties
I'd still be on my knees saying I apologize
Give me back the words I spoke in haste
Give 'em back or love will go to waste give 'em back
