I’m sorry I’m not worth a call just because you miss my voice.
I would call you to say the same but it seems I have no choice.
I’m sorry I’m not worth a simple reply to a text.
Not able to sleep some nights due to wondering what comes next.
I’m sorry I’m not the one you ask for help when you could use a hand.
Still for you I would cross even the most desolate land.
I’m sorry for all the times you may feel all alone.
To build you up and make you strong I would be your corner stone.
I’m sorry I can’t provide for you the things you think most you need.
I wonder did I work hard enough through tears and sweat did I bleed.
I’m sorry I’m not there to keep you warm whenever you get cold.
To feel your soft skin next to mine would never get old.
I’m sorry I couldn’t bring you sunshine when all you had was rain.
What I wouldn’t do to make you smile and drive away your pain.
Maybe one day I’ll be good enough for you. Only time will tell.
Then can I look at myself in the mirror and know I didn’t fail.
