I never meant to make you cry
Never meant to say goodbye
I wish I could turn back the hands of time
And take back every hurtful line.
I know that words can't heal the pain
And saying sorry won't erase the rain
But if you could see inside my heart
You'd know I hate that we're apart.
I'm sorry for the tears you cried
For all the times I hurt you inside
For every moment I let you down
For every time I wasn't around.
I can't undo the things I've done
Or change the battles that we've fought
But if there's one thing I need you to know
I'm sorry, more than words can show.
I should have listened when you spoke
Seen your tears before you broke
I got caught up inside my pride
And missed the pain you kept inside.
You never deserved to feel alone
Especially when you needed someone
I wish I'd been the heart you needed
The kind of love you could believe in.
I'm sorry for the tears you cried
For all the times I hurt you inside
For every moment I let you down
For every time I wasn't around.
I can't undo the things I've done
Or change the battles that we've fought
But if there's one thing I need you to know
I'm sorry, more than words can show.
Maybe you need time to heal
Maybe you don't know what to feel
I won't demand another chance
Or ask your heart to take that dance.
I just want you to understand
I'm not here making empty plans
I'm looking at the things I've done
And facing who I've become.
If forgiveness never comes my way
I'll still regret the hurt today
Because your heart was never mine to break
And losing your trust was my mistake.
I'm sorry for the tears you cried
For the hurt I couldn't see inside
For every promise I let fall
For not being there through it all.
I can't undo the things I've done
Or change the battles that we've fought
But if there's one thing I need you to know
I'm sorry, more than words can show.
And if someday you think of me
I hope the hurt is easier to breathe
You deserved more than my regret
And I'll never forget what I put you through
I'm sorry...
I know those words can't make things right
But I mean them with all my heart tonight
I'm sorry...
