Acceptance

I've gone over this a hundred times
but none of the words sound right
It's so easy to put the blame on you
when I know none of this was true
I won't give up my stubborn ways
and I certainly won't forget those days
but I can admit when I'm wrong
and I've been wrong for so long
Please accept this letter from me
inside you'll find my apology

There are so many ways to say what I want to say
but I can't seem to say it the right way
I want to make you understand
but I can't live through that again
There's a reason I act the way I do
and why I said the things I said to you
But let's put an end to this rivalry
and write a new you and me
I just wanted you to know that I'm sorry
Can you find it in your heart to forgive me?

Before I get ahead of myself
I'm not saying I didn't have every right to get upset
You lied about the stupidest things
and you did it right in front of me
But I'm so sick of holding this stupid grudge
when you were open with me from the start
I never meant to drag you into my misery
when you and I were never anything

There are so many ways to say what I want to say
but I can't seem to say it the right way
I want to make you understand
but I can't live through that again
There's a reason I act the way I do
and why I said the things I said to you
But let's put an end to this rivalry
and write a new you and me
I just wanted you to know that I'm sorry
Can you find it in your heart to forgive me?

I wish you could see this from my point of view
and see all the things I've been through
I put up these walls that no one could break down
because I couldn't bear to let go
I've done so many people wrong
because of those who wronged me before
Please accept this letter from me
inside you'll find my apology

There are so many ways to say what I want to say
but I can't seem to say it the right way
I want to make you understand
but I can't live through that again

But let's put an end to this rivalry
and write a new you and me
