Sometimes Sorry Is Not Good Enough

Maybe I hurt you and Caused you to cry I know the pain went deep And this I won’t deny I know I am to blame for All your sleepless nights The things that I said I know it wasn't right I never meant you any sorrow And I never meant To make you cry I am the cause of your pain I accept all the blame I called you cheap words And a lot of other stuff Sometimes saying I’m sorry Just isn't good enough Somehow I felt what you Felt deep inside So much hurt and pain Like a reflection in your eyes Every breath you took Filled with deceit and sorrow Maybe your forgiveness Will come on tomorrow I can’t expect you to push This all away Maybe another time, Another hour in the day If I could take the words back That caused you to cry I would do it in a heart beat And you know it’s not a lie Nothing I can say right now Will keep your heart still I’m sorry, I apologize for The way I made you feel Even a broken heart is One that’s hard to mend This will follow me Until the very end In your eyes I am the enemy And you have to do what you must But sometimes saying I’m sorry Just isn't good enough

Thanks Archana for stopping by and sometimes no matter how hard I try, saying i am sorry seems not to wash away the pains. But I know it takes times. Please come again soon.

Smiles David! :-) Thanks for stopping by. Sorry is a big word and for most people hard to say. And those are times that when you do say it, it do not seems to help the person that you hurt. Thanks you so much David.
