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 

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 will always be there
Will you believe, will you believe in me 

All the words that [bad word] 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

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 will always be there
Will you believe 

If I told you I’ve been cleanin’ 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 

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 will 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 
Can you forgive me 
When I say I will always be there
Will you believe.
