How can we make amends when we said all we said? I call and you don't pick up How can I say instead that I hope it's for the best? I won't, and I won't give up I'm sorry, Mother I know I let you down I'm sorry for how I up and left this town How can we push aside all the bad and make it right Now you got me all choked up I'm sorry, brother I know I let you down I'm sorry for how I up and left this town Please just listen 'cause I don't ask for much I am my own man, I make my own luck How can we both pick sides when we know nothing's right? Open up the door that's shut How can I have my pride and drink away my soul tonight? Sorrow's filling up my cup I'm sorry, father I know I let you down I'm sorry for how I up and left this town Please just listen 'cause I don't ask for much I am my own man, I make my own luck Well some birds aren't meant to be caged And I just can't see the light of day Please forgive me I can't remember Please forgive me, no one is calling Please forgive me, I can't believe it No Gonna pick myself up, so I don't let this ever grow Even if I mess up, I won't let this ever go It's hard to stay It's hard to stay 'Cause some birds aren't meant to be caged How can I set us free? I'm what you taught me to be Shouldn't that be enough? It's time that we make amends Let's forget the things we said You know we were all just stuck I'm sorry, mother I know I let you down I'm sorry, father I didn't stick around Please just listen 'cause I don't ask for much I am my own man, I make my own luck Please just listen 'cause I don't ask for much Just like my old man, I make my own luck And some birds aren't meant to be caged And some just won't see the light of day Please forgive me I can't remember Please forgive me, no one is calling Please forgive me, I can't believe it No Gonna pick myself up, so I don't let this ever grow Even if I mess up, I won't let this ever go It's hard to stay It's hard to stay 'Cause some birds aren't meant to be caged Please just listen 'cause I don't ask for much I am my own man, I make my own luck Please just listen 'cause I don't ask for much I am my own man, I make my own luck
