Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Can you forgive me?
It's true I've made mistakes but so have you
It's just so unfair
[Verse 2]
The way you hurt me
Cuts so deep, I don't think I can heal
You just leave me bare
[PreChorus]
When you break a trust, it's painful
To find the one you love's no angel
When respect is gone, the biggest part of love goes too
[Chorus]
I'm sorry, so sorry
How long must you punish me?
Why can't we just move on?
Let bygones be bygones
But you never will
[Verse 3]
What's the difference
If this time I'm the one that did the wrong?
Should it matter?
[Verse 4]
Makin' reference to promises made and broken, you just left
Left me cold as stone
[PreChorus]
When you break a trust, it's painful
To find the one you love's no angel
When respect is gone, the biggest part of love goes too
[Chorus]
I'm sorry, so sorry
How long must you punish me?
Why can't we just move on?
Let bygones be bygones
But you never will
[Bridge]
I'm sorry, so sorry
Full of regret
Forgive and forget
I'm sorry, so sorry
You haven't yet
But tell me
Where do we go from here?
[Chorus]
I'm sorry, so sorry
How long must you punish me?
Why can't we just move on?
Let bygones be bygones
By God, I'm gone
[Chorus]
I'm sorry, so sorry
Truly, I am
How long must you punish me?
Just put it down
[Chorus]
Why can't we just move on?
Just turn it around
Let bygones be bygones
[Outro]
But you never
You never
Could you ever?
Could you ever?
Would you ever?
Would you ever?
No, you never will
