With all my love

Sorry I hurt you

I think back and realize

I never said sorry

For all the promises I couldn't keep

For the words I should have said

But failed to communicate

For the peace you deserved

The love you should have felt

I hope this isn't too late

Do I still have your attention?

I know this won't be easy

But let me try

I don't want you walking away

Not hearing what I had to say

And what you deserved to know

I love you, I really do

You are my safe place to land

My home and cover from the harsh realities of life

I could escape because I had you

Now that you're leaving

I finally realize

I took you for granted

I made you feel like you didn't matter

I sold my peace for pain

I gave you away

Where there was no promise of a future

If you would still have me

I want to make this work

I want to give us another chance

I'll come back to you

Say you'll have me once more

Don't let me go

I had your hand in mine

But then I gave you up

I want to come home

Let me come home

Take back the words you spoke

Don't give this up yet

I failed you, I failed us

But that's on me

I want to make this right

Help me make this right

I promise not to let go

You won't have to worry this time

All I have to show is real

I give you my word

It will be different this time

I hurt you bad

You told me your story

And I became the villain in ours

How can I make you see?

I never meant to hurt you

This wasn't a game to me

How do I explain?

It meant nothing to me

I was weak, I betrayed your love and your trust

I let you down and I won't lie

You have every right to be mad

Take me back, please

I can't imagine life without you

I need you, you complete me

Say you'll stay, stay with me
