Intro: Em - H
[Em]I wrote a song, a journal
Gave it to the [H]world
Told the story
Of when I was just a [Em]girl
[Em]I sought understanding
Clarity in [H]truth
By baring all the wounds
Inflicted on my [Em]youth
You [Em]criticized my choice
To stand up to my [H]past
To give the pain a voice
So that it too could [Em]pass
But [Em]I felt brave
And filled with pride as I let [H]go
Of bitterness that wouldn't leave or let m[Em]e grow
But [Am]I will spend a [Em]lifetime
[Am]Trying to under[Em]stand
Why [Am]someone sharing my [Em]bloodline
Would [Am]not lend me their [E]hand
[Am] [F] [Am] [F] [E]
Am I supposed to apologize? I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I...
[Am] [F] [Am] [F] [E]
Am I supposed to apologize? I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I...

[Am] [F] [Am] [F] [E] [Am]
Am I supposed to apologize? I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I...
I [Em]loved her more than myself
But she made me [H]choose
Between her and my father
And so I ref[Em]used
I fled her house and wrath
Eleven years of [H]age
Followed the crooked path
That led me to a [Em]stage
The curtains opened up
My heart followed the [H]lead
The music wouldn't stop
And I could finally [Em]breathe
But [Am]I will spend a [Em]lifetime
[Am]Trying to under[Em]stand
Why [Am]someone sharing my [Em]bloodline
Would [Am]not lend me their [E]hand
[Am] [F] [Am] [F] [E]
