Sorry To A Friend

Edwin McCain

Sittin' on the edge

Looking for songs in a bottle

Talking with strangers who don't know my pain

Blurry eyed and burned out

Choking on more than I can swallow

Crack in a little voice called out my name

She said ~ Whatever happened to you

It's been two years where have you been

And I guess all my fears were true

The words were all gone the time's been too long

But I deserve to know what happened to my friend

Staring in her face

I see a past that still haunts me

The road where we split up is paved with the things I didn't say

We had wonderful times, but terrible timing

Now just leave her alone, I'll just be in the way



She said whatever happened to you

You took the coward's way out again

And I guess all my fears were true

The words are all gone, the time's been too long

But it's not too late to say I'm sorry to a friend

I'm sorry to a friend

Sorry to a friend

Like a stone in a stream

Life smoothes all our edges

'Till we barely make a ripple any more

But those times in my life will live with me forever

But we're not the same people that we were before

And I'm sorry for the smiles we missed and the times that I blew it

I've got so much to tell you

I don't know where to start

Maybe I'll find a way maybe you'll help me do it

'Cause friends like us should not be apart

And I'm sorry to a friend

Well now I'm sorry
