If I only had the chance to show you the love That you deserved when we first met I’ve lied and I’ve cheated and made it rough For you to forgive me again
When I first saw you I thought I knew That every day I wanted to be By your side and always be true I didn’t know then and so it was
I was unfaithful, and then deceitful I was a fool to take your love Something so very meaningful And treat it like me
It wasn’t only you that got hurt by me As I learned to love you and Became what I want to be I hurt myself, because I saw
I looked at my heart and then knew How much I was wrong For all I had done to you You were perfect to me
I then knew what I really was And I changed my ways I started to love But then it set in
All the lies from the past Building up, coming out Could our crumbling love last I could only hope
The Change…
I have changed my ways But it may be too late My lover sits hurting Consumed with a hate
Destroyed by a man, no A real man would never Break a woman’s heart He would not sever
The sacred bond that ties Two hearts and joins two souls He would keep the fire burning Down to the last coals
I can never make right The things that I’ve done Or take back the lies And make it all fun
I have taken away something That cannot be replaced The happy glow of love And smile on your face
You are everything to me And know I finally know That you are the only one With your love we’ll grow
I never thought I would be One of those horrible guys That would cheat on their love Telling all of those lies
But here I am begging For your painful forgiveness Trying to undo all of The things I had to confess
I don’t know if you’ll ever trust in me again But until then I’ll stand waiting, On my knees, like a man

Stephanie, I am so sorry. Please stay with me. You don’t have to forgive me. I just hope that in time you can remember how to love me again. I’m sorry it took me so long to realize, but I want to be the man of your dreams.
