Letra

Hello, mirror
So glad to see you, my friend
It's been a while
Staring at the empty page before me
All the years of wreckage running through my head
Patterns of my life I thought adorned me
Revealing hurtful shame and deep lament
Overwhelming sorrow now absorbs me
As the pen begins to trace my darkest past
Signs throughout my life that should have warned me
Of all the wrongs I've done for which I must repent
I once thought it better to regret
Things that I have done than haven't
Sometimes you've got to be wrong
And learn the hard way
And sometimes you've got to be strong
When you think it's too late
Staring at the finished page before me
All the damage now so clear and evident
Thinking 'bout the dreaded task in store for me
A bitter fear at the thought of my amends
Hoping that the step will help restore me
To face my past and ask for forgiveness
Cleaning up my dirty side of this unswept street
Could this be the beginning of the end?
I once thought it better to regret
Things that I have done than haven't
Sometimes you've got to be wrong
And learn the hard way
And just when you're through hanging on
You're saved
Until that moment, I'd never felt like I'd failed at anything
And I felt like I failed her
And I failed myself, and I failed my children
I want to thank you for helping me to see my own selfishness
And to tell you how regretful I am it has hurt you
I'm sorry I didn't visit you in the hospital, grandpa
I'm here to confess with you that what I did was wrong
I'm sorry that I didn't come to your funeral
I don't know if I was selfish or I just was too scared to face it
It's one of the biggest regrets of my life
I really regret not being able to see my friend Andy
One of my best friends, who's the godfather of my daughter
He asked me to sing or play something at his wedding
And I turned it down because I was busy
I guess, too much of a chickenshit to do it
I wish I could change it
And I feel sorry for that, because it was a very, very close friend of mine
So, I wanted to apologize to anyone
That I've upset or offended by my words
I'm sorry for what I did back then
I was a different person
I really was and I'm so sorry
And that's kind of arrogant, isn't it?
I guess I'm simply sorry for being me and not you
I wish it wouldn't have happened, but it did
And I'm sorry, will you forgive me?
It still haunts me
If we are painstaking about this phase of our development
We will be amazed before we are halfway through
We are going to know a new freedom and a new happiness
We will not regret the past nor wish to shut the door on it
We will comprehend the word serenity and we will know peace
No matter how far down the scale we have gone
We will see how our experience can benefit others
That feeling of uselessness and self-pity will disappear
We will lose interest in selfish things
And gain interest in our fellows
Self-seeking will slip away
Our whole attitude and outlook upon life will change
Fear of people and of economic insecurity will leave us
We will intuitively know how to handle situations which used to baffle us
We will suddenly realize that God is doing for us
What we could not do for ourselves
Are these extravagant promises, we think not
They have been fulfilled amongst others
Sometimes quickly, sometimes slowly
We will always be true to our principles
You're only as sick as your secrets
But the truth shall set you free
The truth is the truth
And so all you can do is live with it
