| I could have been a better brother
|
| I could have been a better son
|
| I’m sorry for the pain I caused you
|
| And all the worries that I gave you, mom
|
| Every time there was a riot
|
| I couldn’t ever stay at home
|
| I had to run and join the fire
|
| You and dad said no, but I had to go
|
| You were still the best of mothers
|
| And now I know the fear you felt for me
|
| You told me to stay off the streets 'cause
|
| You didn’t like me out there selling weed
|
| I don’t regret the things I’ve done
|
| They made me what I am, you see
|
| I can’t apologize forever
|
| For everything that isn’t me
|
| I could have been a better brother
|
| I could have been a better friend
|
| I hope you know how much I love you
|
| And if you don’t, I really understand
|
| I used to be so bloody selfish
|
| I tried to make it to the top, you see
|
| The only thing I didn’t get is
|
| You’ve always given me the help I need
|
| I should have been a better brother
|
| It’s easy now to see it clear
|
| I’m sorry that I hurt you all and
|
| I’m sorry that I caused you all so many tears
|
| I could apologize forever
|
| For everything, I couldn’t be
|
| I can’t apologize forever
|
| For everything that isn’t me
|
| I could have been a better lover
|
| I could have been a better man
|
| I’m sorry that I work so much and
|
| The fact that I never really have a plan
|
| I’m sorry, oh, I’m so sorry
|
| That it’s so hard to say this word
|
| And even with all the things we’ve been through
|
| Sometimes I think that I will never learn
|
| I could have been a better lover
|
| I could have been a better man
|
| I’m gonna be a better father
|
| Hell, I’m doing everything I can
|
| And I will live with this forever
|
| With everything, I couldn’t be
|
| I can’t apologize forever
|
| For everything that isn’t me
|
| I could have been a better brother
|
| I could have been a better son
|
| I could have been a better lover
|
| But in the end, I’m your only one |
