Will you listen to my story?
It'll just be a minute,
How can I explain?

Whatever happened, dear, I never meant to hurt you,
How could I cause you so much pain?

When I say I'm sorry,
Will you believe me?
Listen to my story,
Say you won't leave me.
When I say I'm sorry,
Can you forgive me?
When I say I will always be there,
Will you believe, will you believe in me?

All the words that I come up with,
They're like pouring oil on flames.
There's no excuse, no explanation
Believe me if I could undo what I did wrong
I'd give away all that I own.

When I say I'm sorry,
Will you believe me?
Listen to my story,
Say you won't leave me.
When I say I'm sorry,
Can you forgive me?
When I say I will always be there,
Will you believe?

If I told you I've been cleanin' my soul,
And If I promised you I'll regain control,
Will you open your door,
And let me in, take me for who I am,
And not for who I've been
Come take my hand

Take my hand
Take my hand
Like you used to do
Take my hand

When I say I'm sorry,
Will you believe me?
Listen to my story,
Say you won't leave
When I say I'm sorry,
Can your forgive me?
When I say I will always be there,
Will you believe me?
