Lyrics

[00:15.43] I could have been a better brother
[00:18.93] I could have been a better son
[00:22.02] I'm sorry for the pain I caused you
[00:24.92] And all the worries that I gave you, mom
[00:28.11] Every time there was a riot
[00:31.26] I couldn't ever stay at home
[00:34.18] I had to go and join the fire
[00:37.12] You and dad said no, but I had to go
[00:40.32] You were still the best of mothers
[00:43.98] And now I know the fear you felt for me
[00:46.92] You told me to stay off the streets 'cause
[00:50.12] You didn't like me out there selling ****
[00:53.35] I don't regret the things I've done
[00:56.37] They made me what I am, you see
[00:59.61] I can't apologize forever
[01:02.83] For everything that isn't me
[01:05.91] I could have been a better brother
[01:09.07] I could have been a better friend
[01:12.25] I hope you know how much I love you
[01:15.32] And if you don't, I really understand
[01:18.42] I used to be so bloody selfish
[01:21.49] I tried to make it to the top, you see
[01:24.53] The only thing I didn't get is
[01:27.60] You've always given me the help I need
[01:30.86] I should have been a better brother
[01:34.04] It's easy now to see it clear
[01:37.43] I'm sorry that I hurt you all and
[01:40.27] I'm sorry that I caused you all so many tears
[01:43.57] I could apologize forever
[01:47.06] For everything I couldn't be
[01:50.06] I can't apologize forever
[01:53.34] For everything that isn't me
[02:09.59] I could have been a better lover
[02:12.44] I could have been a better man
[02:15.25] I'm sorry that I work so much and
[02:18.18] The fact that I never really have a plan
[02:21.38] I'm sorry, oh, I'm so sorry
[02:24.57] That it's so hard to say this word
[02:27.76] And even with all the things we've been through
[02:31.31] Sometimes I think that I will never learn
[02:33.94] I could have been a better lover
[02:37.37] I could have been a better man
[02:40.61] I'm gonna be a better father
[02:43.64] Hell, I'm doing everything I can
[02:46.84] And I will live with this forever
[02:50.07] With everything I couldn't be
[02:53.27] I can't apologize forever
[02:56.52] For everything that isn't me
[02:59.92] I could have been a better brother
[03:02.80] I could have been a better son
[03:06.08] I could have been a better lover
[03:08.99] But in the end, I'm your only one
