Story behind the song
Do your best to live your life without regrets, but should you find you have some, own up to your responsibility, and apologize. Don't wait to fix your mistakes when it's too later or impossible for them to hear you.
Lyrics
I said words that were unkind,
Must've been out of my mind,
To be so thoughtlessly cruel to you,
Barely recognize I was that fool.
I want to tell you that I'm sorry,
I want to tell you I was wrong,
I want to show you that I mean it,
Which is why I use this song.
Looking back, I see it clear,
The wounds I left, the cost so dear,
I broke the trust we used to share,
Left scars on you I cant repair.
I want to tell you that I'm sorry,
I want to tell you I was wrong,
I want to show you that I mean it,
Which is why I use this song.
I'd turn back time if I could,
Fix the hurt, make things good,
But all I've got are these regrets,
A weight I carry in my chest.
I don't ask for your forgiveness,
Or to change the way you live,
I just had to sing my peace,
Hoping that you can hear me.
No way to take back what I've done,
No words to heal where I've begun,
I stand here raw with what I've sown,
Owning up to faults I've known.
I am truly sorry,
I definitely did you wrong,
I hope you can hear I mean it,
While I sing this song.
