You could plant a garden
But then nothing would ever grow
You could cross an ocean
But you'd use someone else's boat
You could feed the hunger
But it wouldn't take a day
You could home the homeless
But the pain wouldn't go away
Nothing you will ever do
Will make up for what you've done
Nothing you will ever say
Will make up for what you said
Never will you learn unless
You fix all your mistakes
You could bandage a wound
But you're the one who made it bleed
You could wipe away the tears
But you're the one who mad me cry
You could keep the peace
But you're the one who started the hate
You could mend a broken heart
But you're the one who broke it
You could fix all your mistakes
And you could say you're sorry
But you would never learn
And I wouldn't forget.
