10,000 Apologies

There's a stack of cards
From Hallmark days
There's a message in each and every one
That I wished that I could say

There are memories
That have come and gone
Fallen angels and troubled places
And names that I have worn

Oh I don't always know what to do
When it's clear that the problem is me
Oh my voice starts to get tired when I say
10,000 apologies

When I admit
That I don't know
Is there any way I can make it right
Is there anything I can show

Your angry face
And your hurtful stare
Are they etched in stone like history or can they
Fall away like air

Oh I don't always know what to do
When it's clear that the problem is me
Oh my voice starts to get tired when I say
10,000 apologies

Oh I know that my arms are tired
And I think that my soul is weak
Oh the night starts to get long when I have to say
10,000 apologies

Oh it's one thing to be sorry
And it's another to be sorry I'm me
Oh I'm marking off the days until I reach
10,000 apologies
