I tried my best   I gave my all   Sometimes my best   Wasn't good enough for you      Sometimes I let you go   Sometimes I hurt you so   I know that I can be   The meanest person in the world      So I apologize to you   And to anyone else that I hurt too   I may not be a perfect soul   But I can't learn self control      So pardon me, pardon me   Pardon me my friend      I never thought   That anyone   Was more important   Than the plans I made      But now I feel the shame   There's no one else to blame   For all the broken hearts   Scattered on the field of war      So I apologize to you   And to anyone else that I hurt too   I may not be a perfect soul   But I can't learn self control      So pardon me, pardon me   Pardon me my friend      Sometimes I let you go   Sometimes I hurt you so   I know that I can be   The meanest person in the world      So I apologize to you   And to anyone else that I hurt too   I may not be a perfect soul   But I can't learn self control      And in my heart I feel its true   So I will be there with you   So pardon me, pardon me   Pardon me my friend      Pardon me   My friend   Pardon me   My friend
