I could send you flowers, I could
Tell you how I feel; if it would carry
O'er the distance sundering, tearing
Us apart, I could say I'm sorry.
I could write a letter, I could
Explain how bad I was; I would not tarry
To see you smile again, and never
Say "Go away", I could say I'm sorry.
I could search for you, I could
Show my repentance; I would hurry
To seek forgiveness, never knowing
If I'd find you, to say I'm sorry.
I could say what's done is done, I could
Put the past behind; I would bury
My insecurities, but I wouldn't be
Me, if I failed, to say I'm sorry
I could learn to live, I could
Accept it was to be; I would have no worry
But never having you to depend on,
Can't imagine how I'd carry on,
So, I'm saying, "I'm sorry."
