Sorry Is All I Can Say

The first time I saw you, I felt something new
Like my heart had found where it belonged — with you
Your angelic face, like sunlight through the rain
Healed the silent tears I’d cried for years in pain

And then, out of nowhere, I said "I love you"
It was quick, but the feeling was deep and true
You were a part of me I couldn’t erase
The memory of you still fills up all my space

You loved me when I couldn’t love myself
You held me when no one else could tell
Gave me chocolate on my hardest nights
And books to help me find the light
You brought back my smile, made me feel safe
But I pushed you away, made a big mistake
Now “sorry” is all I can say...
(But I mean it every day)

You gave me your warmth, I gave you the cold
You showed me love, and I let you go
Didn’t know how to keep something so true
Now I’m left here just missing you


It hurts knowing I was the one to break
The heart that never asked me to change
You were my safe place, my gentle escape
And now I just whisper your name

You loved me when I couldn’t love myself
You held me when no one else could tell
Gave me chocolate on my hardest nights
And books to help me find the light
You brought back my joy, made me believe
But I broke us, and now I grieve
And “sorry” is all I can say...
(But I hope you’ll hear it someday)

Every laugh, every page, every song we shared
Still echoes in my room like you're still there
If I could rewind, I’d do it all right
But now I just talk to the stars at night


You loved me when I didn’t deserve it
You gave your all, and I didn’t preserve it
Gave me chocolate in my darkest hour
Books of hope, love like a flower
Now the pieces lie where I let them fall
And “sorry” is my only call
Please know I meant it every day...
Even if you’ve walked away
