My apology
Kelley Davies 1983 (Dallas)
The ones I hurt, to them, I'm sorry
You deserved none of it
I was arrogant, manipulative
The tides turn in the belly of the storm
I am being washed clean
Strung up and tied down like a man under water
I apologize, I know I've hurt you
Please forgive me, if you can't, maybe God can
It's why I've become religious
My karma is that of a madman who strips and rapes souls
Maybe that's where this pain comes from
A just God who fairly cares for the prisoners of humans who hurt others
Maybe I deserve the pain
Whether or not anything I say is true, I want you to know this, those whom I've destroyed
I am sorry
