I'm sorry

Letra

Verse 1: To the loves I once held close, I still carry you within, with memories that whisper of the hurt I left behind. I wish I could undo the things that time can never change, and say the words I should have said: I’m sorry for the pain. Pre-Chorus: It was never your fault, there was nothing you had done, the choices were all mine, and I alone must face them now. I finally see the truth that I was once too blind to know, and I must meet the man I was with courage and let him go. Chorus 1: I’m sorry for the words that hurt, the threats and all the blows, for every moment when I made you frightened in your home. I’m sorry that I took your peace and turned your love to fear, you deserved a gentle heart, a hand to hold, a shelter near. I cannot change the past, but I can change the man I am, and I will never let that violence become my life again. Verse 2: I understand now that none of you were ever to blame, the choices were always mine, and I alone must face the shame. Each time that love came to an end, none of you had failed, it was the choices I made that caused the love to derail. Bridge: I grieve the man I used to be, but I will hide no more, I take responsibility for every wound I caused before. I will not live that life again, I’m breaking from the past, because violence can never be love, and it will never be my path. Chorus 2: I’m sorry for the words that hurt, the threats and all the blows, for every moment when I made you frightened in your home. I’m sorry that I took your peace and turned your love to fear, you deserved a gentle heart, a hand to hold, a shelter near. I cannot change the past, but I can change the man I am, and I will never let that violence become my life again.
