I'm Sorry

Can't blame you for thinking
That you never really knew me at all
I tried to push you away
And now I know that was wrong
I thought I was protecting you from
Every thing I go through
My messed up life
But we got lost along the way
Here I am with all my heart
I know I let you down
I'm sorry, but now
I'm never gonna make that mistake again
You brought me closer to who I really am
I'm so sorry, I never wanted to hurt you
Our story is just the beginning
But let the truth break down these walls
So now whenever I think of you
I think of how you pushed me through
Showed me how much a better person I could be
You make me feel like myself
Not the person they wanted me to be
You said what no one would say
You knew how to get to me
And that's what I needed  
So come take my hand
Because I want the world to see
What you mean to me
