I lost track of who I was, and was supposed to be. Hey man, I fucked up — I lost sight and let you down’ cause of the of whispering. I’ve got no excuse, I wasn’t there when you needed me. But as much as I’d like to, I can’t blame her for all the times I fucked up — and I fucked up. And it’s a lesson I guess I had to learn. Why can’t there be lessons without bridges burned? My friends won’t let me forget what it means to truly never let go. They wouldn’t let me down, and I know better than to let them down again. Hey man, I want to be remembered like I always did good; like I gave it my best shot, like I gave more love than I got. Hey man, you’ll never guess what I realized the other day — I realized excuses and apologies won’t save me. Hey man, I fucked up. But I promise — if I could get one more chance — I promise I won’t forget it. I promise you won’t regret it. I was counting days till you could trust me again, going over ways that I was trapped in my own head. All I could’ve wanted was to earn back my old friends. Family isn’t who you’re born with. It’s who you’d die for.
