from nobody to nobody

By stuart_pid

I wish I could have been there but I couldn't and I'm sorry.
I wish I would have seen you but I wouldn't and I'm sorry.

Another day is slipping by.
Another tear escapes my eye.
Another place is lost inside.
Another part of me has died.

I wish I could have told you but I couldn't and I'm sorry.
I wish I would have shown you but I wouldn't and I'm sorry.

Yesterday will never change.
Tomorrow is forever strange.
Things were always such a game
but things will never be the same.

I wish I could have helped you but I didn't and I'm sorry.
I wish I would have stopped you but I didn't and I'm sorry.

I didn't and I don't know why.
I didn't even really try.
But I'm sorry we can't find
the missing pieces left behind.

I wish you could forgive me but you can't and I am sorry.
I wish you could forget me but you can't and I am sorry.
