apologizing to dragonflies - katéa lyrics

apologizing to dragonflies lyrics
[verse 1]
hi
when i was nine
i k!lled a dragonfly with a tennis racquet, i accidentally smacked it and it died
and so i cried
i swear i wasn’t trying to hurt it, i wasn’t trying to hurt you
some people in life are a lot like dragonflies
they’re kind and sincere and intelligent and wise
and they eat bugs and they give great hugs and they truly mean the world to you
but sometimes through your hazy view you
swing a racquet and you hurt them
you speak too quick and you curse them
so this is josh’s guide to how to apologize to the people that you love and to
dragonflies

[chorus]
step one
be honest, ’cause the strongest words are true
step two
admit that you were wrong, but don’t make it about you
step three
in an apology, forgiveness isn’t guaranteed
you’ve earned it by apologizing and if you’re just now realizing
you just wanted forgiveness, you have it all wrong
step four
[?] that you hurt them, the trust may be gone
step five
do better next time, if they give you a next time
and thank them for the next time if they give you a next time
[verse 2]
i went to my mothers garden, ‘fore my heart could fully harden
and i trimmed the head of lilacs so that maybe i could buy back
the dragonflies respect
i was obsessed with an insect
i just wanted to make it better but some things can’t be made better
some things just hurt forever
sometimes pain you can never remove
no matter who you talk to or whatever you do
i took those flowers that i had cut for the last hours
i placed those flowers down with hope and with shaky breath i spoke

[bridge]
i’m sorry
i’m sorry
i’m really, really, really, really sorry
i was swinging the racquet recklessly
and the second
you got next to me
i hurt you
i understand if you can’t forgive me
i understand if you can’t trust me
you are the most beautiful thing in my life
it is no wonder why you must be
so damaged by the racquet
or maybe by my words
i’ll grab the ice pack
just please, tell me where it hurts
i promise from this day forward
i’ll be more careful where i swing
i’ll do everything i can
to see you fly again next spring
[chorus]
step one
be honest, ’cause the strongest words are true
step two
admit that you were wrong, but don’t make it about you
step three
in an apology, forgiveness isn’t guaranteed
you’ve earned it by apologizing and if you’re just now realizing
you just wanted forgiveness, you have it all wrong
step four
[?] that you hurt them, the trust may be gone
step five
do better next time, if they give you a next time
and thank them for the next time if they give you a next time

[post*chorus]
apologize to dragonflies who are no longer living
and pray every night that dragonflies are forgiving
