Tell Them I'm Sorry

Tell my father that I'm walking
And I don't need a ride
Tell my mother that I'm leaving
I wish I said goodbye
Tell my sisters that I miss them
And I didn't mean to fight
Tell my friends that I'm still sorry
I just didn't have the time

So tell them all I'm sorry
That I always seem to fight
'Cause it's hard sometimes to say
I wanna cry
Try to talk to you
But there are some things that you won't wanna see me going through

Isn't it funny
Isn't it strange
How some things just never seem to change
And it really hurts me
How everyday
Some things just never go my way

I've been taking my time
Made it harder to find
What I'm hiding inside
Given up on myself
Helping everyone else
Put their needs before mine

Now I'm afraid to go home
'Cause I don't know what to say if they ask if I'm alright
I'm scared I'll stay alone
But I'll keep telling myself that I'm still breathing fine
I'm fine

Say I didn't mean it
Was just fed up being nice
Try to overcomplicate
In letters I don't write
Now, I'm sitting underneath the skylight
Thinking 'bout the things I wish I said and hope it's alright
Tell them I'm alright

Isn't it funny
Isn't it strange
How some things just never seem to change
And it really hurts me
How everyday
Some things just never go my way

I've been taking my time
Made it harder to find
What I'm hiding inside
Given up on myself
Helping everyone else
Put their needs before mine

And if they ask if I'm visiting
Can you just say I wasn't listening
'Cause I don't wanna harm no more
And if they ask if I'm gonna call,
Tell them I'm sorry and I love you all
But I don't wanna harm no more

I've been taking my time
Made it harder to find
What I'm hiding inside
Given up on myself
Helping everyone else
Put their needs before mine

Now I'm afraid to go home
'Cause I don't know what to say if they ask if I'm alright
I'm scared I'll stay alone
But I'll keep telling myself that I'm still breathing fine
I'm fine
