I'm Sorry

I know sometimes it's hard

To put our pride aside

When all we should do is just say

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, baby

All alone in my room

I see visions of you

And I think to myself

What went wrong

As I sit here with my pain

Knowing I'm the one to blame

Had to play those silly games

Now there's no refrain, refrain

I should have listened when you cried

I should have opened up my eyes

Too busy holding on to pride

I didn't hear you say goodbye

So how do I say I'm sorry

When you're gone

How do I say that you were right

And baby, I was wrong

I can feel that old black water

Comin' down on me strong

?Cuz see, I had a real good something

And now I'm sitting here with nothing

I'm drowning, can somebody help me

Tell me how to say I'm sorry

So yesterday I sat and wrote these words

And tried not to cry

Guess it's true what they say

You never miss your water 'till your well runs dry

I miss your face, your faults, your laughter

Your tears, the way you smile

(I miss your smile)

Can't nobody take your place

Damn girl, I really miss your sweet embrace

I should have listened when you cried

I should have opened up my eyes

Too busy holding on to pride

I didn't hear you say goodbye

So how do I say I'm sorry

When you're gone

How do I say that you were right

And baby, I was wrong

So how do I say I'm sorry

When you're gone

How do I say that you were right

And baby, I was wrong

If there's anyone you need to say I'm sorry to

(I'm sorry)

Say it out loud, ohh, before they're no longer around

(I'm sorry, how do I say it)

Say sorry, I'm sorry

(I'm sorry, how do I say it, ooh)
