We write to apologize.
                                      
We ask to look past life as it goes by.
                             
I know you have sacrificed time,
                       
Life, love, time to fly.

Please consider all things trite,
                                             
Forgiveness will be the thing that gets us by.

I know to have something like this
          
Broken is hard to fix.

                      
Embers, were burning bridges down.
              
Envelopes stuffed with feelings found.
                                   
To write this down as means to reconcile.


We write to patch things up,
                                        
Maybe not to agree but to proclaim love.
                               
Lets look ahead and then well see the one
                       
Whose glory never ends.

And based on that well see,
                                          
There’ll be room for change, but gradually.

I know to have something like this
		
Broken is hard to fix.

                      
Embers, were burning bridges down.
              
Envelopes stuffed with feelings found.
                                   
To write this down as means to reconcile.

(Sang behind and same as chorus)

If all is said and done and over,

If we don’t have to, were not going to.

Make the change, its worth the try.

What’s broken can be fixed tonight.


Anything,
