just once

An apology, is that what you want? Your deepest desire? You long standing wish? I'm sorry ok I apologize I'm sorry my body isn't perfect And I'm sorry I yell when I'm mad I'm sorry I'm crazy And I cry when I'm sad I'm sorry I'm not so strong And I'm sorry you look down on me I'm sorry I'm depressing And I'm not who you want me to be I'm sorry I'm stupid And I'm sorry I'm slow I'm sorry I'm needy And don't want you to go I'm sorry I'm emotional And I'm sorry I'm down I'm sorry I annoy you And like having you around But while we're at it Turn the mirror back at you You spit plenty of ugly things at me But have you self-examined too? Like would it kill you to just apologize When obviously I'm down Nope, gotta keep on kicking me Pull the tears out of my frown Or would it be the worst thing To just be so nice I wasn't mad And I forgot about the bad things In a crazy day we had But instead you point out my flaws Like I wasn't already aware Or I don't hate myself enough for them And you don't seem to care When I'm shaking with my faith You just yell and ask me why When it'd be so much easier To just reinforce how much you try Just once be sweet to me When I'm hurting so damn bad It doesn't matter if you think it's stupid It's not you who's feeling sad Just step back once in a while And take things from a new stance There's no need for both to be upset Just give the high road a chance
