I wrote you a letter,
to try to give you peace.
I wrote you a song,
so you could sing with me.
You know I’m bad with words,
but I hope that I’ll get through to you,
even though I’m just scribbled letters on paper by now.

All I can say is I’m sorry.
All I can say is forgive me.
But life will go on, though I know that’s sad to say.

I didn’t want to leave you, and I hope you know that’s true.
I never meant to hurt you, but this was what I had to do.
You were the only one I had, the only one I knew,
and I’m so, so sorry for burdening you.

You said I was your hero,
I couldn’t even save myself.
You told me that I mattered
when I felt like all was hell.
So please try not to cry,
shine with that beautiful smile of yours
and think of all the good times that we spent together.

All I can say is goodbye.
All I can say is farewell.
You will go on, and I’m sure, in the end, you will be okay.

I didn’t want to leave you, but I tore myself apart.
I never meant to hurt you, I loved you from the very start.
You were the only one I had, the only one who cared,
and I’m glad you were beside me to help me stand.

There are a hundred thousand words I wish I hadn’t left unsaid.
You brightened my darkest, hardest days, you always kept me safe.
So please forgive me for being as stupid as I am,
because this was not what I had planned,
but it’s too late for explanations now.

All I can say is I’m sorry.
All I can say is goodbye.
All I can say is forgive me.
All I can say is farewell.
