They can fill us with pride
Or burn us from inside
The things that we remember
The things that we did
Can haunt our time awake
And make us feel less big
I can't take it back
I can't change the past
And every time I drive by where we met
All I can do is ask
Will you ever forgive me?
Do you I know I regret it every day?
It was a lapse of judgement I promise
That's all I can tell you
That's all I can say
How can I atone for the sins of the past?
How can I right the wrong
Move the stone, fill the jug
How long will this guilt last?
I never confessed to a priest
because that's not what we do
I don't know that I need to
I don't know how to tell the truth
And now that I am older
And ready to right the wrong
If only I could tell you I'm sorry
If only I could sing this song
So listen to this tale of woe
Listen to what I have to say
Learn from my mistakes
Learn to do the right
Every single day
Good poem
