"My Apology"
Written by Amanda Gardner
Copyright 2002

Musically, the choruses in this song work, I just changed the words around a little bit. It is meant to be mostly acapella with some percussion and maybe a little bass.

Verse 1:
Mama, mama I do want to come down
But I can’t seem to find my way back to the ground
These visions around me are floating so free
I'm relentlessly fighting for what I can't be

Silhouettes dancing so graceful so true
Why can’t that be me oh why can’t that be you
I’m catching a glimpse of myself in the mirror
I continue to run towards my biggest fear.

Chorus:
Do you know that this is killing me (killing me)?
Do you know that I know this too?
But surrounding me is perfection (perfection)
Did you think you’d be responsible for my resurrection?

Verse 2:
I tell all my friends do what I say not what I do
It’s a hypocrite’s way of justifying her truth
If my brother, my sister knew what’s become of me
Their sadness I’d sense their disappointment I’d see

Chorus:
Do you know that this is killing me (killing me)?
Do you know that I know this too?
But surrounding me is such beauty (such beauty)
How can I stop when this is all that I see?

Verse 3:
Your angel has fallen broken down off the shelf
Behind her eyes you never knew she needed your help
It’s amazing what clarity comes with sudden reverence
Though I continue this journey knowing all consequence

Chorus:
Please know that I don’t blame you (don't blame you)
Please know that I am truly sorry
Please know that I love you (I love you)
But it's a little too late to for my apology...
