Am I Supposed to Apologize Lyrics

Intro: Em - H
I wrote a song, a journal
H
Gave it to the world
Told the story
Of when I was just a girl
I sought understanding
H
Clarity in truth
By baring all the wounds
Inflicted on my youth
You criticized my choice
H
To stand up to my past
To give the pain a voice
So that it too could pass
But I felt brave
H
And filled with pride as I let go
Of bitterness that wouldn??t leave or let me grow
But I will spend a lifetime
Trying to understand
Why someone sharing my bloodline
Would not lend me their hand
Am I supposed to apologize? I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I...
Am I supposed to apologize? I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I...
Am I supposed to apologize? I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I...
Am I supposed to apologize? I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I...
I loved her more than myself
H
But she made me choose
Between her and my father
And so I refused
I fled her house and wrath
H
Eleven years of age
Followed the crooked path
That led me to a stage
The curtains opened up
H
My heart followed the lead
The music wouldn??t stop
And I could finally breathe
But I will spend a lifetime
Trying to understand
Why someone sharing my bloodline
Would not lend me their hand
Am I supposed to apologize? I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I...
Am I supposed to apologize? I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I...
Am I supposed to apologize? I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I...
Am I supposed to apologize? I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I...
