I said I'm sorry
As the tears roll from my eyes
You didn't accept my apology
I said I'm sorry...

And when the people came
And tore you down
For something that you were
I said I was sorry

The guilt that lays inside
Like a monster
Clawing at my insides
Haunting every waking moment
That I'm alive...

They imprisoned you
For something you didn't do
For something I thought
You were guilty of...

I said I was sorry for my words
I said I was sorry for what I've done
I can't take back my sins
The temptation I was led in

They gave me diamonds
They gave me gold
But nothing shined more
Than the hurt in your eyes
As they took you away.

I'm sorry for the hurt they caused
I'm sorry for my betrayal
I'm sorry you won't look at me
You won't accept my apology...

This guilt is eating me up inside
From my emotions I cannot hide
And the monster within is killing me
I'm sorry please accept my apology

I looked at you one last time
And you looked away...
I said I'm sorry one last time
You weakly looked up at me and said
"I forgive you... It's okay."

I'm sorry my friend
I had given into them...
My heart is not to blame
It's my brain I put to shame

And I'm sorry for all I've done
I'm just glad you're stronger now
You've accepted my apology
But I'm still very sorry...
