But I couldn`t find the words
To express the sorrow that I feel
That we`re now in separate worlds
I wanted to say I`m sorry
For causing you so much pain
I wanted to say I love you
And I wish you loved me again
I wanted to tell you how much I`ve grown
I know you would have been so proud
I wanted to wish you happiness
I wish I could say it all out loud
I wanted you to know I think of you
Every minute of every day
I want you to know my heart feels the pain
Of my betrayal every day
I could never write that letter
I was scared of what you`d say
I thought you`d say I was a fool
And you`d wish I`d go away
But now I have to tell you
You really need to know
I can`t keep it bottled anymore
I need the room to grow
You`re in my heart and always will be
I`ll always be your "baby girl"
All I ever wanted was to shine for you
Like a beautiful, brand new pearl
But along the way, my pearl was tarnished
Through pride, jealousy and spite
It doesn`t matter how sad I am
I can never make it right
But I want you to know I accept that
There`s a peace inside my heart
I know I have to let you go
And make a brand new start
I`d like to end by saying I love you
I wish you well upon your path
I`ll just take my broken heart
And deal with the aftermath.
