Regrets

Can I tell you that I'm sorry.
Can I tell you that I tried.
Was it you that night who called me.
Let it ring with no reply.

Can I tell you that I loved you.
Can I tell you that I cared.
Even from across the world.
Hard to reach, and hard to hear.

Can I tell you that I'd change it.
Can I tell you I'd do more.
Try to be more understanding.
Make you feel you weren't ignored.

Can I tell you I was busy, but never to busy for you.
Can I tell you that I'd do better.
Though now there's nothing I can do.

For it wasn't that I meant to.
For it wasn't that I knew.
How much my simple nature
Had in turn affected you.
