Can you forgive a man If he’s no longer here?
Can you apologize If he’ll never hear?
...
Every little sheep needs a shepherd But to me you were a hired hand
I ran from you at every chance I ignored your every command
Your lips bore mark of your teeth Your stare bore mark in my mind
I just wanted you to be gone To leave us all behind
But not like this Not at all like this
As harsh as you were to me I also have a list
The lies that I told You exposed in the light
The call that I made To the police that night
The things I told To prod my dad’s fight
I never said I’m sorry I never made it right
Now I’m left in the silence And though I’m not the same
You never got to see The man that I became
...
Though you’re not here I forgive you
Though you can’t hear I’m so sorry
