[Verse 1]

Will you listen to my story?

It'll just be a minute

How can I explain?

Whatever happened here

Never meant to hurt you

How could I cause you so much pain?

[Chorus]

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 will always be there

Will you believe

Will you believe me?

[Verse 2]

All the words that I come up with

They're like gasoline on flames

There's no excuse, no explanation

Believe me, if I could I'd undo what I did wrong

I'd give away all that I own

[Chorus]

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 will always be there

Will you believe?

[Bridge]

If I told you

I've been cleaning my soul

And if I promised 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

[Chorus]

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 will always be there

Will you believe?

[Outro]

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?
