I brace my heart for the relapse,
I'm waiting now for the shame,
I've been somewhere and I can't go back again.

I'm holding out for some mercy,
I'm praying that you'll forgive,
I've done something and I can't take it back again.

I'm sorry now, now that it's over.
You're world crashed down,
And I ran for cover.
I'm sorry now, now that it's over .

How I wanted to show the way,
So I pushed you aside.
I wanted to save the day,
But I let you cry.

How I stood there so silently,
And let the moments pass by,
I was too late to save the day,
I let you die.

I'm sorry now, now that it's over,
You're world crashed down,
and I ran for cover.
I'm sorry now, now that it's over.

(x2)
Everyone wants to save the day,
But they're falling behind,
Everyone wants to save themselves
