Am I Supposed to Apologize
I wrote a song, a journalGave it to the worldTold the storyOf when I was just a girl
I sought understandingClarity in truthBy baring all the woundsInflicted on my youth
You criticized my choiceTo stand up to my pastTo give the pain a voiceSo that it too could pass
But I felt braveAnd filled with pride as I let goOf bitterness that wouldn’t leave or let me grow
But I will spend a lifetimeTrying to understandWhy someone sharing my bloodlineWould not lend me their hand
Am I supposed to apologize?Am I supposed to apologize?Am I supposed to apologize?Am I supposed to apologize?
I loved her more than myselfBut she made me chooseBetween her and my fatherAnd so I refused
I fled her house and wrathEleven years of ageFollowed the crooked pathThat led me to a stage
The curtains opened upMy heart followed the leadThe music wouldn’t stopAnd I could finally breathe
But I will spend a lifetimeTrying to understandWhy someone sharing my bloodlineWould not lend me their hand
Am I supposed to apologize?Am I supposed to apologize?Am I supposed to apologize?Am I supposed to apologize?
