Did the Best I Could

I'm sorry

I know you waited all your life to hear that

Maybe I made some choices that now I regret

But please believe me when I say

I did the best I could

When you came I was only a girl of 16

So unknowing of life and its ways

But please believe me when I say

I did the best I could

You got to believe me when I say

I did the best I could

So many times I wasn’t there

You must have thought I just didn’t care

So many words should never been said

We were just kids angry and scared

But what’s done is done and what was said was said

Whatever I did I did the best I could

So many dreams I put aside

Trying to be a mother, a wife

There might have been days

I held you to blame

But then I suspect you did the same

And what's done is done

And what was said was said

Whatever I did

It’s been so long holding these broken pieces

Got to be strong and let them fall where they may

But please believe me when I say I did the best I could

You got to believe me when I say I did the best I could

You can stay mad, it does you no good, trust me I know

I’m sorry

Please forgive me

So sorry
