Burned Bed Sheets

<center>Baby, I'm sorry for the hurt I've caused you.
Sorry for the tears that I caused to mark your pretty face.
Baby, accept my apology, 'cause you're still my baby boo.
I can't believe how I hurt you.
Can't believe how stupid I was.
I creeped with another girl,
in your bed.
When you found out
you ripped off the sheets and put them outside
you set them on fire,
and I watched you cry as you watched them burn.
Baby, I can't take back what I've done
but I promise you baby,
I love you and it hurts to see you hurt.
I can't deal with knowing I'm the reason for all the pain
you're living through.
I came to your door one night,
and I got on my knees to beg forgiveness.
I saw the pain in your eyes.
And it caused the tears to run down my cheeks.
You closed the door in my face.
I went down the street and sat on a bench
and I cried like my daddy did when my brother died.
You not wanting me in your life,
is like a knife through the heart.
It's like you died.
I don't deserve you, baby
I realize that now,
but I'm suffering without you.
I know you're suffering cuz of what I done to you
but baby, I'm still in love with you and I can't let go.
So selfish,
me. Not you.
Baby, you're a beautiful woman.
Inside and out.
I'm so selfish.
I fucked a bitch who didn't mean a thing.
Now all I want is to hold you in my arms,
kiss you and tell you everything is going to be alright
Hold you tight and tell you I love you.
Love's a strong word.
You're a strong woman.
I love you, my baby.
I'm sorry for how I hurt you.
I wish I never caused your eyes to water.
I wish we could have had a family
but I understand that you can't trust me.
I'll always love you.

------

You hurt me bad.
I cried and cried all night when I found out.
You kept saying you were sorry
but how can I trust you when you hurt me so bad?
I told you everything about me.
Then you threw all that away.
You mattered to me.
And I thought I mattered to you.
You did it in my bed,
why would you hurt me that badly?
I ripped the sheets off the bed,
the bed we shared,
the bed we made love in
the bed I wanted to always wake up to you in.
I burned the sheets.
I watched them burn, through my tears.
You say you can't deal with hurting me,
but you went and hurt me in the worst way possible.
You say you can't live without me and that you love me.
How can you say that honestly when you hurt me this bad?
You came to my house one night,
you were on your knees begging me to forgive you
I would have.
But I know that those are lies coming through your teeth.
I do love you.
But I loved you when you hurt me, you lied to me
how am I supposed to believe you won't hurt me again.
I'm not stupid
I know I'm worth more than you.
All I want is you
holding me close again
when everything was alright.
I just wish you'd never broken our trust.
I'll always love you deep down inside of me
but you hurt me too much.
I can't take you back.</center>
