I’m Sorry

I broke apart too many times in the past
I promised myself I would never go back there
So when she told me the bad news that morning
Felt like I was floating in the middle of nowhere

I tried to make her see
I tried to understand
I tried to save your life
But I let you slip through my hands

Chorus:

I’m sorry I couldn’t keep you alive
I’m sorry I couldn’t bring you up right
She had to let you go
For reasons I’ll never know
I’m sorry that we’ll never meet again

I thought I’d never go back to the old times
She said we’d be happy now that we are whole
Now I can’t trust her when she went behind me
Snatched you out of our lives and tore apart my soul

(Chorus)

Why did you hide it from me for so long?
Were you afraid of what could have been?
I can’t trust you, I’m not sure I love you
Yet I want to get closer to you now
As we’re suffering from the old sins

I tried to say no
I tried to believe
I tried to save your life
Instead, I let you die

(Chorus x 2)

I’m sorry I couldn’t bring you home
