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 nothings right?
Open up the door that's shut
How can I have my pride
and drink away my soul tonight?
Sorrows 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 talk
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 are 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 coming
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
