Well I'm sorry and I apologize 
                      
for any pain I may have caused you 
             
and I made you my enemy 
                                  
but now I need you as my friend 
                                    
and I've been wrong for so long 
                                         
not to ask for your forgiveness
                                                 
and if you don't accept, I'll understand 
                             
but I need to make amends 
     
but I need to make amends 
            
It's hard for me to say this 
                                                             
but I've been going through some changes 
                                            
and I'm really not quite sure where to begin 
          
I've been kissing devils 
                  
and fighting angels 
         
putting the rest of you in danger
                                              
and blaming you for the turmoil beneath my skin
                                                 
and my twisted versions of the truth 
                                                 
are a weak man's attempt to look better than you 
                                  
can't believe your pain never gave you a grin 
                                      
and I've wanted to kill a thousand times 
                                          
but I think I just thought that I wouldn't survive 
                           
but I found happiness ain't something you win 
                                  
Well I'm sorry and I apologize 
                                          
for any pain I may have caused you 
                                 
and I made you my enemy 
                                      
but now I need you as my friend 
                              
and I've been wrong for so long 
                              
not to ask for your forgiveness 
                                                      
and if you don't accept, I'll understand 
                              
but I need to make amends 
                            
but I need to make amends 
                                      
Well I've lied to you so many times 
                                          
with a mad desire to control your mind 
                                  
searching for things that no one finds 
                                                       
and I've killed your time and stole you blind 
                                        
I've taught you things you don't need to learn
                           
so I can cut in line and take your turn 
                                   
I've filled your head with snakes and worms 
                                            
on my search for a bridge to burn 
                                 
I wanna live with no uncertainty 
                                      
but that man in the mirror's been hurtin' me 
                                                                             
and I've come to you 'cause there's nowhere else to go 
                              
Well I'm sorry and I apologize 
          Dn                       
for any pain I may have caused you 
                    
and I made you my enemy 
                                    
but now I need you as my friend 
                                  
and I've been wrong for so long 
                             
not to ask for your forgiveness 
                                              
and if you don't accept, I'll understand 
                               
but I need to make amends 
                  Dn
but I need to make amends 
                                
If you see me sad, don't pity it 
                  
I've been a god damn idiot 
                                 
My life, my fault, my actions make me break 
                   
and I can't even see it, so be it 
         
that's what I think 
                                   
when everybody's gonna blame the world 
                                                
I blame my mom and dad and put it in a song 
          
I'm weak, so I act strong 
                              
I'm short, so I talk long 
          
and layin' in the hospital 
                               
I think, have I been wrong? 
       
all along 

I'm 29, still playin' "look at me" 

what am I, three? 

self-esteem on E 

can't you see
 
I've been often neglegent 

almost never benevolent 

I think I'm intellegent 

but mostly irrelevant 

'cause I ain't changed one bit 

even though I quit 

who cares if I'm sober if 

I'm still gonna steal shit 

I had to be broken down 

another apocalypse 

to see what I had missed 

and just come and tell you this 

my pride, gotta suck it up 

my gut, gotta tuck it up
 
so here goes, dawg 

I love you 

I fucked it up 

Well I'm sorry and I apologize 

for any pain I may have caused you 

and I made you my enemy 

but now I need you as my friend 

and I've been wrong for so long 

not to ask for your forgiveness 

and if you don't accept, I'll understand 

but I need to make amends 
                   
but I need to make amends 
                                       
Well I'm sorry and I apologize
