' I Regret the words I said to you, <br />the way I acted has made me blue. <br />When you saw me out that day <br />know I looked different- <br />didn't know what to say... <br />Even though my head was high, <br />I felt so bad but I didn’t sigh... <br />held my tongue within my cheek, <br />turned my back on the questions you seek... <br />Unfortunately I shrunk inside, <br />to a place where only one can hide. <br />You can find me anywhere- <br />I can’t run so it is not fair! <br />You know my thoughts and all my dreams, <br />even things that maybe seem- <br />to hold me down and drown my soul, <br />I ask you lord to make me whole. <br />So the next time that I speak to you- <br />Please understand I’m sometimes blue. <br />That I will try to change “MY” fate- <br />When I accept your love… <br />I’m through the gate!
