My Apology

I feel alive, and I know that I’m gonna make it
I work without tire and heaven knows I’ve been patient
And I realize that the tides have started changing
Yeah, 'cause I feel alive and I know that I’m gonna make it
So sorry my friends for every time I said no
Sorry, my mother, but I may have to go
I’m just a kid with a dream in a basement
Knowing I won’t grow up 'til I stop using my imagination
I’m just a man with a dream, oh and I’m gonna chase it
Obsessive I am, but at least I’ll never be complacent
So sorry my friends that I couldn’t hang around more
Sorry, my father, but I may have to leave town for
Hope of a life that your son’s always dreamed of
Where I’ll write you a check for a home with a deck and a lakehouse
And mom’s off the clock 'cause the chef can cook and clean
You’ll offer your best, and I’ll tell you to rest 'cause it’s all on me
Yeah, it’s all on me
So sorry my friends, but I’m not going out
Sorry, my parents, but work’s never slowing down
Sorry my friends, but I’m not going out
Sorry, my parents, but work’s never slowing down
'Cause I’m just a kid with a dream in your basement
Been saying my prayers every night knowing they will be taken
And I realize that the tides have started changing
Yes, I feel alive, and I know that I’m gonna make it
Just be patient with me
I’m not a failure, you’ll see
Just know that one day I may have to leave
In search of a life that we all have once dreamed of
Where I’ll write you a check for a home with a deck and a lakehouse
And mom’s off the clock 'cause the chef can cook and clean
And you’ll offer your best, but I’ll tell you to rest 'cause it’s all on me
Yeah, it’s all on me
I’m the one whose come to set us free
