Try To Forgive Me
Would it help to say I'm sorry
for all the misery I brought?
I never set out to hurt you,
it was never something I sought.
I would disappear from your life,
If only I could turn back time.
And not be here to make you cry,
or watch anxieties climb.
Please pardon the way I acted,
I did so because I love you.
And believed if I felt that way,
naturally you'd love me too.
I never thought for a moment
that you'd fall for another man.
And when I saw him kissing you,
I fought him till he up and ran.
I can't say I'm sorry he left,
yet I should have just let you be.
And now I'm on my knees begging,
please darling try and forgive me?
