The Angel on the Other Side (No Excuse)

There is no excuse
that could ever been made
to show you that your absence
didn’t make me feel betrayed
there is never going to be a way
to show that I'm sorry
for the things I’ve done,
and those I’ve yet to do,
I'm sorry that I haven't been
the best of friends to you
but damn it I tried
you know I did
and it scares me to know
that your thinking
about letting this go away
I know that I don’t need you
but you lighten my heart
and I fell that without you
another part of me would die
I think I have let enough slip away
I’d finally like to try
my life won’t fall apart
and this world won’t end
but that is no excuse
for us to not be friends
all you wanted was
me to be there
and you actually made me pray
I heard something in your voice
that really spoke to me
times have changed
but not too much
yet were not as close as before
I know you read this,
because I know you
better than you admit I do
and you know that I
am sorry for everything
I've put you through.
I’m going to try
one last time
I won’t give in today
ten thousand miles aren’t enough
and time won’t make it fade away
regret will stay with us forever
I’ve got to try again
I heard it in your heart
I know you’ve said good-bye
and while you know
that I would never force you
would it be wrong for me
to ask why
and would it be so hard for us
to give this one more try
