Apology Letter
Apology Unspoken: Love's Stumbling Words
Lyrics
I was wrong
I admit my mistake
I knew right away, but I played it cool
I realized my error immediately, but pretended to be indifferent
That trick never works
Acting nonchalant in such situations never succeeds
Took too long
I took too much time to acknowledge my fault
And then I got mad because you got mad
I became upset because you reacted negatively to my delayed realization
Another one of my delightful quirks
Referring to personal flaws as "delightful quirks"
What a jerk
Expressing self-awareness of being inconsiderate
If I were to smile at you
Contemplating the possibility of reconciliation through a smile
Would you smile at me?
Pondering reciprocity in gestures of goodwill
It's so clear
Expressing clarity in the intended message
What I'm trying to say, but right on cue
Despite clarity, articulating emotions doesn't come naturally
It doesn't ever come that easily
Expressing difficulty in expressing feelings effortlessly
'Cause the words
Words get derailed while trying to convey emotions
Derail on the way from me to you
Communication obstacles between the speaker and the recipient
It seems to happen with some frequency
Obstacles in communication occur frequently
Depressingly
Describing the reoccurrence of communication difficulties as depressing
If I were to smile at you
Repeating the contemplation of reconciliation through a smile
Would you smile at me?
Reiterating the hope for reciprocal gestures of goodwill
And I can't bear to look to see
Expressing hesitation or fear of facing the consequences of the apology
If this apology letter's returned unread
Anticipating the possibility of the apology being ignored or rejected
