I Was Wrong, I'm Sorry & I Love You

It’s been 20 years since I rose and cleared my throat
It’s been 10 years since I stood outside the church
It’s been 9 years since the ground became the sky
It’s been 20 years since I rose and cleared my throat
It’s been 10 years since I stood outside the church
It’s been 9 years since the ground became the sky
It’s been 8 years since I found an alibi
It’s been 6 years since the dogs picked up the game
It’s been 4 years since I learned to love the pain
It’s been 1 year since I stole life from the grave
And over all these years, just three things I’ve tried to say
I was wrong, I’m sorry and I love you
I was wrong, I’m sorry and I love you
I was wrong, I’m sorry and I love you
I love you
I welcome everyone but give 'em nothing when they arrive
Or else build a house with no way to come inside
I’ve learned to hide my tears, learned to hold them deep inside
And then sell my fears just to pick your pockets dry
I was wrong, I’m sorry and I love you
I was wrong, I’m sorry and I love you
I was wrong, I’m sorry and I love you
I have misled you
I have misread you
I’ve cared too much and not enough in the same breath
You’ve been my hope, my stretch of rope in life and death
And I was wrong, I’m sorry and I love you
I was wrong, I’m sorry and I love you
I was wrong, I’m sorry and I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you
