Hurt

Keri Merle 1988 (Watertown NY)



I'm sorry I'm not perfect
I know I disappoint you
I'm sorry I make you angry
And I'm sorry for everything I do
I know that you hate me now
And we're falling apart
I'm sorry I hurt you
And broke your heart
I feel so broken
Like I can't do anything right
I feel so defeated
All we do is fight
I wish we could fix this
But it's too damaged to repair
I don't know what to do
But sit here in dispair
I am trying to be better
But it never feels enough
I have tried to understand
All your anger stuff
I don't want you to be mad anymore
I want you to stop blaming me
It's not always my fault
I hope that one day you will see
I don't know if we should say goodbye
And move on with our life
Or do we still try to fix this
While one of us holds the knife
