From sunrise until I open my eyes
There's so many things to do, yet so little time
That's no excuse for the way that I've treated you
You wanted my time but it's like I deleted you
Like I was too busy, you persisted to get through to me
You kept saying wait "wait, please just give me one more minute
And I'll be there just as soon as I'm finished"
And so you waited and waited so patient
I never came through and left you vacant
That's my mistake for all the times that I've wasted
I can't give it back and now I'm so frustrated
I'm sorry, don't be mad at me
And let the sun go down
Don't go to bed mad at me
I'm sorry, I've turned around
Don't let the sun go down
Don't go to bed mad at me
I know it seems like I'm avoiding you
I didn't pick up the phone when I was supposed to
Or call back when you left your number and name
This was like a game, guess what, you fell for it
Aw man, once again I fell forward
I was too lazy to be held to my commitments
I stayed silent like it's time for an opinion
I was the yes man, too scared to make waves
And be honest from the things I might say
I was supposed to have your back and you have mine
But when you turned around, I was gone every time
Blind to what I had but now I see it
I said some things that I can't change
I had some thoughts inside that were so vein
In the heat of the moment, I can't take them back
Or use the excuse that I was just mad
What comes from the mouth comes from the heart
There's little bits of truth to every remark
Instead of lifting you up, I tore you apart
Like a whip with every single lash that ripped in
The back where I stabbed you
Then idly remained as I watched and laughed too
I was so ego-driven and pride got the best of me
If I could take your pain away I would gladly
