I'm sorry
How many times have you walk out that door
How many times have you told me before
How many times have you made me cry once more
How many times have you left me with no trace
How many times have you lied to my face
How many times have you done me disgrace
And all you have to say was I'm sorry
* And now you're coming back to me
And all you have to say is I'm sorry
The same old story, can't you see
And all you have to say is I'm sorry
I guess the greatest irony
It's time to give you my apology
We're done and now its history
And all I have to say is I'm sorry
How many times have I planned to go
How many times have I gathered my with
How many times have I wanted to quit
And all you have to say was I'm sorry
(Repeat *)
I wanna let you know, I wanna let you go
Once too many times
I'm done, I'm tired
You lied
I'd rather have you out of my life
(Repeat *)
