I wrote a song, a journal gave it to the world Told the story of when I was just a girl I sought understanding clarity in truth By baring all the wounds inflicted on my youth You criticized my choice to stand up to my past To give the pain a voice so that it too could pass But I felt brave and filled with pride as I let go Of bitterness that wouldn't leave or let me grow But I will spend a lifetime Trying to understand Why someone sharing my bloodline Would not lend me their hand Am I supposed to apologize? Am I supposed to apologize? Am I supposed to apologize? Am I supposed to apologize? ♪ I loved her more than myself but she made me choose Between her and my father and so I refused I fled her house and wrath eleven years of age Followed the crooked path that led me to a stage The curtains opened up my heart followed the lead The music wouldn't stop and I could finally breathe But I will spend a lifetime Trying to understand Why someone sharing my bloodline Would not lend me their hand Am I supposed to apologize? Am I supposed to apologize? Am I supposed to apologize? Am I supposed to apologize?
