I don't think you know just how sorry I am
Sorry for the ways that I've tried to be a man
Sorry for the things that almost got us all killed
And I'm sorry for never saying this to you
Truth is, I don't know how much more that I can take
I've tried to carry it all, but the earth still seems to quake
Under everything I've given and the pressure and the weight
Truth is I can't hold it all for you
As bad as I want to be your hero
I can't explain the blues
I'm sorry for being me
I guess I'm just sorry to you
Take my tongue, Lord, for what it's worth
If it holds no value, I won't speak another word
Just tell me what you think, and I don't care if it hurts
I don't want to hear no lies from you
As bad as I want to be your hero
I can't explain the blues
I'm sorry for being me
I guess I'm just sorry to you
Boil me down 'til I could fall through the dirt
Pour me out and see if I grow up from the earth
Like a half-eaten seed by the birds and the worms
I bet I don't grow back up to you
As bad as I want to be your hero
I can't explain the blues
I'm sorry for being me
I guess I'm just sorry to you
I'm sorry for being me
I guess I'm just sorry to you
