When Sorry Is Not Enough

What do you do when sorry is not enough? Lost for words and trapped Trapped in the misery you’ve made yourself Unable to change what was said But not knowing how to fix the mistakes And words Words just aren’t there Not there to show the pain and remorse Regrets or hurting him Him this person that you love And there is no walking away Away to let it fix itself An impossible concept of the hopeful The anger and lack of forgiveness is hard to bare In your head all you can think is I did this You sit and you cry, lost in time The weight of u guilt pressing down on you Wanting to hear him say Everything is ok But knowing it won’t come, not what you deserve Loving, loving so much it hurts And knowing you’ve brought things to ruins So, what do you do when sorry is not enough And it seems everything is at its end When comforts not in his arms And you can’t see a way to fix it and apologize To say “Baby I love you” And have it be ok. But all there is to say is “Sorry” Turn away and cry.
