Will you listen to my story?
It'll just be a minute
How can I explain?
Whatever happened here
Never meant to hurt you
How can I cause you so much pain?
[Chorus]
When I say I'm sorry
Will you believe me?
Listen to my story
Say you won't leave me
When I say I'm sorry
Can you forgive me?
When I say I'll always be there
Will you believe?
(Will you believe me?)
All the words that I come up with
They're like gasoline on flames
There's no excuse, no explanation
Believe me, if I could undo what I did wrong
I'd give away all that I own
[Chorus]
When I say I'm sorry
Will you believe me?
Listen to my story
Say you won't leave me
When I say I'm sorry
Can you forgive me?
When I say I'll always be there
Will you believe?
If I told you I've been cleaning my soul
And if I promise you I'll regain control
Will you open your door?
And let me in?
Take me for who I am
And not for who I've been
(Who I've been)
[Chorus]
When I say I'm sorry
Will you believe me?
Listen to my story
Say you won't leave me
When I say I'm sorry
Can you forgive me?
When I say I'll always be there
Will you believe?
When I say I'm sorry
(When I say I'm sorry)
When I say I'm sorry
(When I say I'm sorry)
When I say I'm sorry
Can you forgive me?
When I say I'll always be there
Will you believe?
