You’ll See

HALF HEARTED APOLOGY
Dean Fields

I heard about it in a truckstop in Bristol
(I called a friend that we both used to know)
Of how you met him and you soon would be married.
And you hoped I don't show.
I know you meant what you said.
I wish I meant what I did.
Anyway, I'm sorry. So sorry now.

At seventeen I had a truck and your trust in me.
I drove them both about as far as they'd go.
Looking back I can see how I hurt you
But just cause I could.
I wouldn't take back the years.
I've already cashed in your tears.
Anyway I'm sorry. So sorry now

I had a plan to get all dressed up,
All messed up, and tear you down.

Seven years holding tight to a memory
You were bleeding scars from a fist like a rose.
Looking back I can see how I hurt you
But just like I wanted to.
My sister says how she hears you say I stole what you hold dear.
But, wasn't it your idea?
Anyway I'm sorry. So sorry now.
