My Apology

You'll be accepting my apology

For taking things too seriously

Sometimes, I'm old enough to keep routines

Sometimes, I'm child enough to scream

For everything I broke in two

You're barely missing me, I'm missing you

And everything you do, I really do

I really do, sure, I do

My once-photographic memory

For recollection's sake is failing me

I can't remember for the life of me

Sometimes, I can think to recite

Words that I read and rewrite

My pens paint people that I've proven wrong

Sometimes, I can think to recite

Words that I read and rewrite

My pens paint people that I've proven wrong

We move on

Get a job where I tell

All of my accounts of someone else

I'm quick enough to judge that they were wrong

And that we knew it all along

Sing a long long-winded song

I would be content to hum along

Hum

If I state that my fingers know where to show

What everyone should have known

I'll let it go

Hopefully, you'll forget

Any words that I put in print

My luck, you'll change

Have strength enough to walk away

Sometimes, I can think to recite

Words that I read and rewrite

My pens paint people that I've proven wrong

Sometimes, I can think to recite

Words that I read and rewrite

My pens paint people that I've proven wrong

We move on

Sometimes, I can think to recite

Words that I read and rewrite

My pens paint people that I've proven wrong

Sometimes, I can think to recite

Words that I read and rewrite

My pens paint people that I've proven wrong

Read and rewrite it wrong
