The fear of disappointment and the compulsive need to apologize beg the question: who deserves an apology? God? Mom? Girls? Lost friends? You?
“Apologies I Need To Make” is an excusal letter to the people you need to please most. Then again, maybe it is an attempt to reconcile the struggle: is it wo...
[Verse 1]
Jesus, here are all my doubts
I hate to say them all out loud
I'm sorry for my unbelief;
I hope that I can make you proud
I'm afraid of disappointment
Letting down the ones I love
They just want me to be happy
But I'm not trying hard enough
I'm sorry that I missed your call
I've been going on the run
I know you probably think I'm mad
But I'll always be your son
[Chorus 1]
Tell me that You have a message
That will finally set me free
I'm sorry that I made it so hard
For You to come and rescue me
I know I said that I'd do better
But I just seem to make things worse
Do You have some grace for me 'cus
I could use another verse
[Verse 2]
I can't talk to pretty girls
They've never been kind to me
I'm sorry that I'm not as tall
Because that matters, apparently
I play songs on cheap guitars
Pretend that I have lost someone
I drink coffee late at night
Until all my thoughts are done
[Chorus 2]
Tell me that You have a message
That will finally set me free
I'm sorry that I made it so hard
For You to come and rescue me
I know I said that I'd do better
But I just seem to make things worse
Do You have some grace for me 'cus
I could use another verse
[Verse 3]
I'm sorry I gave up on them
(I'm sorry I gave up on them.)
I didn't think I ever would
(I didn't think I ever would.)
I probably could still apologize to them
(Probably could still apologize)
But I don't know if I still should
(I don't know if I still should.)
'Cus I collect all of my debts
(I collect all of my debt.)
Give myself some time to mourn
(give myself some time to mourn)
Knowing everybody loses
(knowing everybody loses)
Has taught me how to feel remorse
[Chorus 3]
Thank You for Your message
The one that finally set me free
I'm sorry that I've made it so hard
But I'm glad You rescued me
I know I said that I'd be better
So be patient with me, please
I know the place I need to start
Is to make my apologies
[Outro]
Don't how long this will take
Apologies I need to make
