Not so long ago, when i was just a child
I never realized the way i felt inside
And how much you meant to me
How much you meant to me
And i don't think i've ever told you so
And i thought you'd like to know
That now i see and i can understand
I understand

I was unkind, i must have been blind to your sorrow
And night after night, trying to live with your sorrow
And i was a bastard and i was wrong
And i was lost in things i've done
And i was stealing just for fun
And it was breaking your heart

So long ago, when i was just a child
I never understood, never realized
How much you meant to me
How much you meant to me
And i don't think i've ever told you so
And i thought you'd like to know
That now i see and i can understand
I understand

I was unkind, i must've been blind to your sorrow
Night after night, tryin' to live with your sorrow
I was unsure, and lookin' for more, i was anxious
To be on my own, livin' at home i was restless
And i was a bastard and i was wrong
And i was lost in the things i'd done
And i was stealin' for fun
And it was breakin' your heart
It was breakin' your heart
