I Was Wrong, I'm Sorry & I Love You 
Music and Lyrics by Derek Webb
© 2013 Derek Webb

It's been twenty years since I rose and cleared my throat
It's been ten years since I stood outside the church
It's been nine years since the ground became the sky 
It's been eight years since I found an alibi 
It's been six years since the dogs picked up the game 
It's been four years since I've learned to love the pain 
It's been one year since I stole life from the grave 
and over all thees years just three things I've tried to say 

I was wrong, sorry and I love you 
I was wrong, sorry and I love you 
I was wrong, sorry and I love you 
I love you 

I welcome everyone give nothing when they arrive 
And lets build a house with no way to come inside 
I've learned to hide my tears and to hold them deep inside 
and then sell my fears just to pick your pockets dry 

and I was wrong, sorry and I love you 
I was wrong, sorry and I love you 
I was wrong, sorry and I love you 

I have mislead you 
I have misread you 
I've cared to much and not enough in the same breath 
You've been my hope my stretch of rope in life and death 

and I was wrong, I'm sorry and I love you 
I was wrong, I'm sorry and I love you 
I was wrong, I'm Sorry and I love you 
I love you 
I love you I love you
