Apology to 'Brian Mayo' (Cheesy)



Sometimes in life we must swallow our pride
admit that we were wrong
this is one of those times.

I jumped to conclusions
making false accusations
I'm sorry for what I've done.

If only I'd gave you chance to explain
to defend your honour and your good name
for now I bow my head in shame.

I can't undo what was done
if only I could I most certainly would
I'm sorry I was wrong.

Your talent is undeniable
I'm so sorry I caused you distress
and I'm sorry I made your page such a mess.

You say that I'm forgiven
but I'll never forgive myself
I only wish I'd zipped my big mouth.
