I'm sorry, you know
this is hard for me to say
but you loved me for someone
that I'm not today

So I'm sorry for the hurt I caused
The disappointment in your eyes
The way I disregard things
is an attitude you despise

But I have come to terms
and you need to understand
that I'm not somebody wonderful
with their face on the side of a van

I'm just a normal human being
with nothing special to be
I've given up hope and lost my drive
to be something other than ordinary me

So I'm sorry for the lack of spark
And for the lameness that I am
because I'm not pretty, athletic, or smart
and my dreams are all in the can

And it was hard but I've apologized
And now I hope that you'll forgive
because even though I'm nothing now
without you, I don't think I could live
