I walked a path where I hoped you'd see
My love was true yet it couldn't set you free
In every misstep, in every flaw I show
I left a mark of regret,
a truth you now know
Every tear, every promise I failed to keep
Is a reminder of a love that fell too deep
Forgive me, I couldn't be the best for you
I tried so hard but my efforts never came
through In the silence of my shortcomings and broken
dreams
I pray for healing in the spaces between
I see the dreams you held so close in your eyes
A future bright with hope under endless sky
Yet my imperfections dimmed that radiant light
Leaving shadows of sorrow in the quiet of night
Maybe one day you'll understand my plight
How I strived in darkness for a glimpse of light
For every moment I fell short of your
need
Forgive me,
love, for every unheeded plea
Forgive me,
I couldn't be the best for you
I tried so hard but my love just wasn't true
In the echoes of promises that I failed to keep
I'm reaching out though my soul still weeps
I promise to learn,
to grow, to mend
To be the strength you need,
a true friend
Forgive me, dear, for the mistakes I've ruined
I long to be the best just for you
