I'm Sorry

i'm sorry doesn't seem to be enough
and i'm sorry can't heal the wounds
i'm sorry doesn't blot out the memories
and i'm sorry can't clear out the nightmares
i'm sorry didn't make it not happen
and i'm sorry can't make it go away.

i'm sorry that it couldn't do these things
and i'm sorry that it couldn't heal my pain
i'm sorry that all of my trust for you is gone
and i'm sorry you couldn't ever show any to me
i'm sorry things didn't work out like we'd planned
and i'm sorry, but i just can't make myself stay.
