i tried my best
i gave my all
sometimes my best wasn't good enough
for you
sometimes i let you go
sometimes i hurt you so
i know that i can be the meanest person in the world

[chorus:]
so i apologize to you
and to anyone else that i hurt too
i may not be the perfect soul
but i can't learn self control
so pardon me! pardon me! pardon me my friend!

i never thought
that anyone
was more important than the plans
i made
but now i feel the shame
there's no one else to blame
for all the broken hearts scattered on the field of war

[chorus:]
so i apologize to you
and to anyone else that i hurt too
i may not be the perfect soul
but i can't learn self control
so pardon me! pardon me! pardon me my friend!

[guitar solo]

sometimes i let you go
sometimes i hurt you sooo!
i know that i can be the meanest person in the world..

[chorus:]
so i apologize to you,
and to anyone else that i hurt too,
i may not be a perfect soul
but i can't learn self control
and in my heart i feel its true
so i'll be there with you!!!

so pardon me
