Will you listen to my story
It'll just be a minute
How can I explain
Whatever happened here
I never meant to hurt you
How could 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'll 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'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

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
