How can we make amends when we said all we said?
I call and you don´t pick up
How can I say instead that I hope it´s for the best?
I won´t, and I won´t give up

I´m sorry, Mother
I know I let you down
I´m sorry for how I up and left this town

How can we push aside all the bad and make it right
Now you got me all choked up
I´m sorry, brother
I know I let you down
I´m sorry for how I up and left this town
Please just listen cause I don´t ask for much
I am my own man
I make my own luck

How can we both pick sides when we know nothing´s right?
Open up the door that´s shut
How can I have my pride and drink away my soul tonight?
Sorrow´s filling up my cup

I´m sorry, Father
I know I let you down
I´m sorry for how I up and left this town
Please just listen cause I don´t ask for much
I am my own man
I make my own luck

Well some birds aren´t meant to be caged
And I just can´t see the light of day

Please forgive me
I can´t remember
Please forgive me
no one is calling
Please forgive me
I can´t believe it
No...

Gonna pick myself up, so I don´t let this ever grow
Even if I mess up, I won´t let this ever go
It´s hard to stay
It´s hard to stay
Cause some birds aren´t meant to be caged

How can I set us free?
I´m what you taught me to be
Shouldn´t that be enough?
It´s time that we make amends
Let´s forget the things we said
You know we were all just talk

I´m sorry, Mother
I know I let you down
I´m sorry, Father
I didn´t stick around
Please just listen cause I don´t ask for much
I am my own man
I make my own luck
Please just listen cause I don´t ask for much
Just like my old man, I make my own luck

And some birds are meant to be caged
And some just won´t see the light of day

Please forgive me
I can´t remember
Please forgive me
No one is coming
Please forgive me
I can´t believe it
No...

Gonna pick myself up, so I don´t let this ever grow
Even if I mess up, I won´t let this ever go
It´s hard to stay
It´s hard to stay
Cause some birds aren´t meant to be caged

Please just listen cause I don´t ask for much
I am my own man
I make my own luck
Please just listen cause I don´t ask for much
I am my own man
I make my own luck
