i'm here to talk of honesty
i'm here to talk of lies
deceit and pain and endless cries
i'm not here to say i'm honest
i'm here to say i am truthful
i do not lie when i apologise
i do not lie when i admit what i did is hurtful
i do not lie when i know i am the source of those painful cries
but i am not like those who've hurt you before
i am not them not anymore
i know i have hurt you
but i am broken too
i said i was sorry
i say it to this day
but even now i worry
because i know you'll never accept my apology
and i think of what i said
of what i did right then
i read and read
the words that hurt you to now from then
i'm sorry i hurt you
i'm sorry for all that i do
i'm sorry i cry
for the pain i gave you
i'm sorry for not being honest
and although it's painful
but right now i'm being truthful
