I'M Sorry Is Not Enough

You lie to me, you say it was a mistake.
"I'm sorry", you say, but you won't change.
You hurt me, then you say you are sorry,
But you do it again, you don't change.
You keep doing the same things 
Again and again
And then you just say "I'm sorry",
Like it's enough to fix everything.
You keep saying you're sorry, but you do nothing.
You keep lying, making false promises
You say you're sorry, but it's not enough.
If that was true, then why make the same mistakes
again and again?
I won't fall for the lies again.
I know you don't want to change.
If you were sorry as you keep saying, 
Then you'd have done things different.
But now, I've had enough
"I'm sorry" alone can't fix it all.
