mean to you

some things go wrong
in a real way.
me saying sorry
won't make it go away.

token apology,
broken down friends.
i never meant to hurt you,
by what i said.

`forgive and forget'
sounds good about now.
i need you to let me
off, and be allowed
to make it all up to you
someday, somehow...
i'm sorry.

i shouldn't shoot my mouth off
about who's growing old and wise.
in my loud and laughing eyes,
i can be too proud...
to apologize.

i'm sorry.
that doesn't say much.
but you know what i mean
and what i didn't
mean to you--
didn't mean to be
mean to you
