Let Me Try Again

I'm not here to explain myself
 I'm here to listen to the story you tell
 I'm not saying my race has been run
 But I sure had my time in the sun
 Hearing it said out loud to me
 Is making it oh so clear to see
 I tore you down and can't undo
 The pain I caused but never knew
 Please just let me try again
 Once more I'd like to call you a friend
 There's nothing I did that could be undone
 You will be proud of what I'll become
 Take your time don't miss a thing
 Nine years if you're wondering
 How long it's been since I've heard your voice
 I'm here to stay if I have a choice
 Please just let me try again
 Once more I'd like to call you a friend
 There's nothing I did that could be undone
 You will be proud of what I'll become
