  1. I broke your bike yesterday afternoon
    A truck drove over it while I was at the store
    But I didn’t mean to or anything

    I also told my friends that your shirt made you look fat
    We all laughed about it for 10 minutes
    But don’t take any offense.

    I forgot to mention that I stole 20 bucks from your wallet yesterday
    I spent it on some soda and candy
    But that won’t happen again

    I ate your last chocolate chip cookie that your mom made for you
    It was delicious and warm
    But it was only because I was hungry

    I didn’t tell you until now, but I copied your answers off the math test
    Thanks for the A, I really needed it
    But it’ll just be for one time of course

    Wait! Where are you going?
    Why are you getting angry?
    But of course I didn’t mean to do any of those things!

  3. I woke up to a strange sight
    it wasn't there
    I didn't know what to do.

    Without it I am lost
    Where are you?
    What are you doing?

    I need you for everything
    I can not call
    I can not text
    I need my Iphone

  4. I have stolen
    the candy
    that was in
    the easter basket

    and which
    you were probably
    very excited
    to eat

    Forgive me
    It was delicious
    so chocolatey
    and sweet

  6. Oh, and here we stand
    All alone together,
    Two once one;
    One meaning to fix
    And the other: to destroy.

    You said you're sorry, so
    You ask why i question you.
    You wonder how such beauty
    Turns to vengeance to quickly.

    You pull me into a hug and
    You describe your pain.
    Do you not know the pain you've gifted me with?
    It is a curse of a wandering tragedy
    I wish upon none.

    You take me by my the frail wrists.
    Why am I not forgiving?
    You were once so delectable:
    Creative and refreshing.

    And then you turned.

  7. I have stolen your money
    That mom had left you on the counter
    To get something to eat

    And now I feel so guilty
    Watching you sit there and starve
    Why I eat this yummy sandwich

    I feel so ashamed
    I feel so bad
    For taking your lunch money and making you sad

  8. I have eaten
    The croissant
    That was sent
    From France
    And which
    You were probably
    Saving for a souvenir
    Forgive me
    They were delicious
    So crispy
    And so warm

  9. I'm sorry I won
    in every game we played.
    I need to defend my title.

    No matter how hard you tried,
    you couldn't win.
    You eventually quit in frustration.

    In the future,
    look before you leap.

    It would have been a good idea
    for you to learn how to play
    before you challenged me.
    Oh well, I still won.

  10. Im sorry I meowed in class
    it's a habit that I can't break.
    I want to speak to my fellow kitties.
    so soft and cute.

    I said I was sorry,
    but I just did it again.
    I don't care if you think I'm wierd
    I like cats.

    kitties go meow,
    and so do I.
    Meow, Meow, Meow.

    Forgive me,
    I can't control it.

  11. I have eaten
    the chocolate
    that was in the candy draw.


    and which
    you were probably
    craving
    because you have been upset

    I’m sorry
    But it was tasty
    So very milky
    And chocolaty

  12. I ate the ice pop
    It was the last one
    I know you wanted it

    Im sorry about this
    It will never happen
    It was just so good

    If it will help
    The next time we get ice pops
    I will let you eat all of them

  13. Hey, i just met you,
    And this is crazy,
    But here's my number,
    So call me maybe.

    And all the other boys,
    They try to chase me
    But here's my number
    So call me maybe.

    Boy you came into my life,
    I missed you so bad,
    I missed you so bad,
    I missed you so, so bad.

  14. I know I said wouldn't steal.
    I was headed out
    For a store that
    Required me to bring some money.

    You were watching a movie
    With your friends
    So I snuck into
    Your favorite box.

    I saw all your money
    And before I could blink,
    My hands took some out.
    It was hard to believe.

    When I returned with a brand new CD,
    I told you I borrowed your money
    And might give it back someday.

    But now I feel bad for buying a CD
    I had been waiting for, for one full year!
    I love to listen to all the great songs and
    I’m sorry, but I certainly needed the money.

  15. I'm sorry I broke your heart
    I didn't mean to
    but I need to do what's best for me
    left alone broken and shattered

    I said it would last
    but things changed between us
    You may think that I played you
    however that is not the truth

    Your heart has been ripped apart
    So has mine
    I loved you and that will never change

    I hope you understand
    Things have changed

  16. I'm sorry I took all the chocolate chip cookies
    It just came out of the oven
    It smelled delicious

    I couldn't resist
    I love cookies
    Especially chocolate chip ones

    I knew how much you wanted them
    But I couldn't help but eat them all
    I ate one then another one and another

    I'm sorry there were none left
    I just couldn't resist

  17. I threw you ball
    It went high
    I told you to jump

    You couldn't jump high enough
    The ball went by
    Smashed into a window

    The nieghbor was mad
    I blamed it on you
    You got in trouble

    Im sorry for what happened
    but not for the bad throw,
    because you can't jump

  19. Sorry I changed the channel while you were watching something on television
    It was very boring
    What I changed it to is much better
    Trust me, you will like it more
    I know you'd rather watch something else
    But I wouldn't
    I'm not even watching it but I still want it to be on
    You'll watch anything as long as it's something to take your mind off of the real world
