A Hand Written Apology Lyrics

I’m sorry
I never meant to hurt you
Look in my eyes…

She’s so beautiful
She has a way with words
I had my way with her
Oh how unfortunate
I left her here in this empty nest
Awaiting the Seraphim
With prayers unanswered and unblessed

I’m sorry
I never meant to hurt you
Look in my eyes…

She’s so elegant and delicate
It makes me sick
Oh, don’t be deceived
I treat her like a glass menagerie
And this time I won’t scream
I’ll whisper softly and I’ll sing

I’m sorry
I never meant to hurt you
I never meant to hurt you
I never meant to hurt you

If I could wish it all away
If I could wish it all away
I would wish it all away
If I could wish it all away…

I’m sorry
I never meant to hurt you
Look in my eyes…

I’m wishing away
And I’m waiting for something
I’m sitting around
And I ain’t getting nothing

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

haha! first comment.not sure wat it means but i like it. i kinda think it's about a guy that possibly abused his girlfriend or wife and she was some kind of pure angel and delicate and now he realizes that it was wrong to have ever struck an angel and he now wishes he had never done that and he's trying to say sorry and get her bak but she won't and so he's just waiting till she comes around. am i close?

I think that song it explained well by the person above me, but i dont think that he abused her. I think he tool advantaged of her. She was realized that she deserved more, and she wanted to leave him, but he is apologizing to get her to stay maybe. i think the song is based of some sort of scenario. Overall, the song is great, and i love it. I personally like the demo version better. but i LOVE the song!!
