I Still Want You

*Author's Note: This is my first apology song. I was inspired by 'Back to December' and 'Afterglow' by Taylor Swift, and 'The Ones I Love' by Olivia Rodrigo. I had gone to this formal event with this guy as friends but I ended up going off with the guy I actually liked towards the end and sort of just ditched the guy I came with... He seemed really chill at the time so I didn't think anything of it, but then he called me up a while later and told me that it really hurt him. I felt so ashamed of myself for doing that to such a wonderful guy who's always been there for me when I needed him. I feel like a terrible person and I think I'll forever feel guilty about it. 😞 I wrote this song as an outlet for all the stirring emotions that were swirling inside of me. 


〜VERSE 1〜

All along I thought you were fine

But it was only cause my heart was occupied

I came with you but danced with another guy

And I was too late to realize


I hurt you in a way that cut deep

And I got you caught in between

But I hope you'll find it in your heart to forgive me


〜CHORUS〜

I took it for granted to have you by my side

The way I abandoned you on that night

Left you stranded with no goodbye


I wish I could do something to make it right

repaint the colors of your grey sky

cause I still want you in my life


〜VERSE 2〜

I could hear the pain in your voice

when you asked if you were just my backup choice

That question struck me right down to the bones

Cause up until then I didn't even know


I hurt you in a way that cut deep

And led you down a dead-end street

You deserve so much better than a person like me


〜CHORUS〜

I took it for granted to have you by my side

The way I tossed you aside on that night

Left you stranded with the high tides


I wish I could do something to make it right

repaint the colors of your grey sky

cause I still want you in my life


〜BRIDGE〜

I'm sorry that I hurt you

You know I didn't mean to

You have the right to be mad at me

And I know I can't fix it with just an apology


I didn't realize what I had till I lost it

Yeah I know I was being so inconsiderate


〜CHORUS〜

I took it for granted to have you by my side

The way I discarded you on that night

Left you stranded and broken inside


I wish I could do something to make it right

repaint the colors of your grey sky

cause I still want you in my life
