When the Words Finally Came

Verse 1

I watched the daylight fade on your goodbye

Every word I swallowed turned to stone

You gave me chances I let fall right through

Now I'm standing bare before the truth

Pre-Chorus

I know sorry won't rewind the time

But I'm finally ready to try

Chorus

I'm sorry I hurt you for a while

For every tear I let you cry

I'm sorry I hurt you for a while

I'd give the world to see you smile

Oh I would

Oh I would

Verse 2

You kept the flame when I burned it down

Patched all the holes I tore in town

Your patience wore thin like my favorite jeans

Now it's my turn to mend the seams

Pre-Chorus

I know sorry can't erase the pain

But I'm standing here in the rain

Chorus

I'm sorry I hurt you for a while

For every tear I let you cry

I'm sorry I hurt you for a while

I'd give the world to see you smile

Oh I would

Oh I would

Bridge

Maybe time can soften what I broke

Maybe love can learn to reconcile

Every word I never spoke

Every mile I left behind

Begging you to stay

Begging you to stay

Chorus

I'm sorry I hurt you for a while

For every tear I let you cry

I'm sorry I hurt you for a while

I'd give the world to see you smile

Oh I would

Oh I would
