I'M Sorry

Hard to say I’m sorry
When I think of the whole story
Of how I wronged you that day
And then walked away

It seems that it doesn’t matter
How many times I rehearse it in my chatter
It still sticks in my throat
And I know to say it is no joke

How do we get over the foolishness 
And say the words without a guess
Just give me my strength today
And say “I’m sorry” not 
just run away.
