I used to bring you pleasure
Now I only bring you pain
I came into your life an angel
Now I leave with tainted wings

Please remember me with love
And not the hurt I've left you with
Take with you the laughter
Think of our friendship as a gift

I'll hold you in my heart forever
If never in my arms
I'll love you til the day I die
And never wish you harm

I take with me a memory
A time of joy and bliss
A stolen solace from the pain
God granted me that wish

Please take these woeful words
As my apology to you
And carry me in your heart
Not the hurt I put you through

I used to bring you pleasure
Now I only bring you pain
I came into your life an angel
Now I leave with tainted wings
