Kenny Mantinelli - I'm Sorry

I'm sorry that I broke your heart,
I'm sorry everything fell apart;
I'm sorry things didn't go as planned,
I'm sorry I let go of your hand.

I'm sorry that I let you down,
I'm sorry all I did was make you frown;
I'm sorry I couldn't make you happy,
I'm sorry all my lines were sappy.

I'm sorry that I'm a failure at love,
I'm sorry I'm no gift from above;
I'm sorry that I hurt you so,
I'm sorry I put you down so low.

I'm sorry I couldn't be there,
I'm sorry I was so unfair;
I'm sorry for everything wrong I've done,
I'm sorry for not being any fun.

I'm sorry you couldn't wait much longer,
I'm sorry we couldn't have been much stronger;
I'm sorry for the mistake I made,
I'm sorry your feelings had to fade.

'I'm Sorry' doesn't mean much at all,
It's just the climbing after a fall;
'I'm Sorry' is the failure's way,
To try to get someone back some day.

And even if you won't come back,
At least trial isn't something I lack;
But if you say some day you'll be mine,
I can look up and see the light shine.

I'm sorry that I've been so bad,
I'm sorry that I've made you sad;
I'm sorry that I couldn't wipe your tears,
But at least I can promise I'll always be here.
