An Apology

I try so hard not to let you down
But all my efforts are in vain
It seems that I've nothing found
Except to see the one I've pained

The pain, I see it in your eyes
It makes me so ashamed
This thing I've caused
I tried to explain

Nothing I say comes out right
It all seems to be insignificant
You don't look much interested
In what I have to say

Just listen to me
Try to understand
It's hard for me to tell you
...I'm sorry...
