Sorry to a Friend

Sittin' on the edge, looking for songs in a bottle
Talking with the strangers who don't know my pain
And blurry eyed and burned out, choking on more than I can swallow
Crack in a little voice that calls out my name

She said, "Whatever happened to you
It's been two years where have you been?"
And I guess all my fears were true
The words were all gone, the time's been too long
But it's not too late to say, "I'm sorry," to a friend
What happened to my friend?

Staring at her face, I see a past that still haunts me
The road where we split up is paved with the things I didn't say
We had wonderful times but terrible timing
Now just leave her alone, I'll just be in her way

She said, "Whatever happened to you?
You took the coward's way out again"
And I guess all my fears were true
The words are all gone, the time's been too long
But it's not too late to say, "I'm sorry," to a friend
I'm sorry to a friend, sorry to a friend, sorry to a friend

Like a stone in a stream life smoothes all our edges
'Til we barely make a ripple anymore
But those times in my life will live with me forever
But we're not the same people that we were before

And I'm sorry for the smiles we missed and the times that I blew it
I've got so much to tell you, I don't know where to start
Maybe I'll find a way maybe you'll help me do it
'Cause friends like us should not be apart
And I'm sorry to a friend, well now I'm sorry, I'm sorry, so sorry
Sorry and I'm sorry, oh yeah
