Letters Home Lyrics


Sorry mother for not writing home

Sorry father for the things that I don't know

Sorry love for always letting you down

Sorry life it's time for goodbye now

Sorry world for the letters I wont' write

I'm way too tired now to even try to fight

Giving up is all I ever do

Without anything to ever try or ever prove

But someday I hope to change my ways

So that people can say that they enjoyed my stay

But words don't come out right and this pen I have just won't write

The ink must have dried while I wiped away the tears I cried

With so many things that I just wanted to say

But there's no other way so I guess That's all I have to say

Sorry family for not being there

Sorry if it looked like I didn't really care

Sorry to my friends for not saying the right words

Sorry for all the bridges that I have burned

Sorry to my wife

Sorry for not living life

Sorry if I didn't get it right I swear that I always tried

Sorry for all the things that I could not say

I wish you could have heard them

Because that might have been special some way

But I sit alone

Thinking about all the unknowns

Giving up is all I ever do

Without anything to ever try or ever prove

But someday I hope to change my ways

So that people can say that they enjoyed my stay

But words don't come out right and this pen I have just won't write

The ink must have dried while I wiped away the tears I cried

With so many things that I just wanted to say

But there's no other way so I guess That's all I have to say

Staring at the empty spaces on the wall

Pacing slowly up and down this lonely hall

Thinking of something to try and say

But my brain just won't let me have my way

I lose myself in these thoughts

With the guilt that they brought

Sorry mother for not writing home

Sorry father for the things that I don't know

Sorry family for not being there

Sorry if it looked like I didn't really care

Sorry to my friends for not saying the right words

Sorry for all the bridges that I have burned

Sorry to my wife

Sorry for not living life

Sorry love for not getting things just quite right

Sorry world for the letters that I won't write

I'm way too tired now to even try to even fight

Sorry for all the things that I could not say

I wish you could have heard them

Because they might have been special some way
