[Intro]
I know sometimes it`s hard
To put our pride aside
When all we should do is just say
I`m sorry
I`m sorry, baby
All alone in my room
I see visions of you
And I think to myself
What went wrong
As I sit here with my pain
Knowing I`m the one to blame
Had to play those silly games
Now there`s no refrain, refrain
1 - I should of listened when you cried
I should of opened up my eyes
Too busy holding on to pride
I didn`t hear you say goodbye
2 - So how do I say I`m sorry
When you`re gone
How do I say that you were right
And baby I was wrong
I can feel that old black water
Commin` down on me strong
Cuz see, I had a real good something
And now I`m sitting here with nothing
I`m drowning, can somebody help me
Tell me how to say I`m sorry
So yesterday I sat and wrote these words
And tried not to cry
Guess it`s true what they say
You never miss your water `till your well runs dry
I miss your face, your faults, your laughter
Your tears, the way you smile (I miss your smile)
Can`t nobody take your place
Damn girl, I really miss your sweet embrace
Repeat 1
Repeat 2
Repeat 2
