I Want to Say I'm Sorry

Well, I want to say I'm sorry but I don't know how

But I'm sorry, I'm so sorry now

I said some words to you I wish I never said

I know words can kill 'cause something's dead

And now my heart is like a catacomb

And I'm praying we can find a way to raise these bones

Again, oh, again

Well, I want to say I'm sorry but it's not enough

To close the wounds I opened up

So now I've got this sorrow and you've got that hurt

And we can't go back to who we were

Oh, but could that mean I'm someone new

Maybe I can love you better than I failed to do

Before the war

They'll tell you everything was beautiful and pure

But there was poison in the well from years before

And now I'm cleaning up this wreckage on the shore

And I don't want to fight with you no more

So I want to say I'm sorry that I drew the line

I built the wall, the fault is mine

And maybe now the only way to find some peace

Is just to give it time and trust in grace

So this is my communion hymn

I want to sit beside you at the feast, my friend

Again, again and again

And again
