All I Can Say
Lene Marlin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It just didn't feel right anymore
Something's changed from before, I wish I knew
I did not want to hurt you, I don't want to still
But I'll be around, you know I will
I just have to face the day
Now all I can say
All I can say is, I'm so sorry for
The promises I made to you
What I said I would do
I could make it all good
I could say that I'd try
But that would be a lie, you don't deserve
I got lost in the moment,
I was lost in you
I tried to ignore it, but then I had to
Had to face the day
Now all I can say
All I can say is, I need more
All I can say is, I'm so sorry for
The promises I made to you
What I said I would do
And I'm hoping that you can forgive me,
And I'm praying that you don't think less of me
And I'm Hoping that you, will see it too
See that it is for the better
All I can say is, I need more
All I can say is, I'm so sorry for
The promises I made to you
What I said I would do
