I feel sorry

I feel sorry
For all those good people out there
Who I ever offended
Or stepped on
Or have forgotten

I feel sorry
For the people in need
Who I never reached out to
Who I ignored
Who I never met
And they needed me

I feel sorry
That I have it so good in life
And I go around proud
Or when I have it good in life
And I go around humbly
--I ought to just be grateful
That’s all

I feel sorry
for all of you
Who I really never knew
And it almost seems too late now

I feel sorry
That I took all your time
Talking about me
And you couldn’t tell me
Anything about you

I feel sorry
That I’ve spent so much of my life
Trying to figure out how the world works
Only to realize that it works so simply
That it doesn’t take a genius to appreciate it

I feel sorry
That the time I spent telling you these things
You could have told me about yourself
And I could have made an effort
To help make your life better
Make it the way you want it to be
Make it much happier
Make it more appreciative
More loving
More friendly
Better. Just better.

I feel sorry
That this time I took of yours
Telling you all these things
Could have been spent helping others
Or helping yourself
Cause you need it more than I do
More than they do.

I feel sorry
That I offended you
When I told you
you were wasting your time
right now
listening to me
tell you what to do
because you probably already knew

I feel sorry
That this is my best effort at motivating you
To do the things you need to
But every little bit counts

I feel sorry
That I feel sorry at all
Because really
There is nothing
To be sorry for
At all

Life is something to be happy about
To find the good in
And when you find something good
Something you’re happy about
You want to share it with everyone

That’s how I really feel
I don’t feel sorry at all
There’s nothing to ever be
Sorry about
So stop saying it
