I'm Sorry
© Jan 2006, Rev Feb 2006 Lyrics - Pamela Denise Mann/Rebecca Dale Peaden/Marchetti (BMI)
Demo by Jason Roller's Magic Shack Productions, Murfreesboro, TN - Vocalist: Shelly Bush
V1
With the rise of his hand
he brings her down again
and she only gets back up
when he thinks she's had enough
And with her head hung way down low
the only words she’s allowed to let go
Is I'm sorry, when she wanted to say...
Chorus:
I'm sorry for wastin’ my years with you
And for takin’ the abuse you’ve put me thru
I’m so tired of makin’ excuses why I’m black and blue
And it hurts to be near this ugly side of you
V2
His strong arms pull her close
Tears in his eyes the same pitiful pose
Says he's sorry for mistreating her
But when he's mad everything's a fast-moving blur
And her smile still drives him wild
If she'll just stay he'll make it worth her while
He says he's sorry but she's thinking this
Chorus:
I'm sorry for wastin’ my years with you
And for takin’ the abuse you’ve put me thru
I’m so tired of makin’ excuses why I’m black and blue
And it hurts to be near this ugly side of you
V3
Laying still next to him
He fell asleep so easy it must be a sin
With a sigh of relief
Thinking of the bitter and the sweet
She grabbed her things ran to her car
Smiled as she passed his honky-tonk bar
And the note left by his head said this...
Chorus/Bridge:
Next time you need someone to punch on
Look in the mirror cause I’ll be gone
I'm tryin' out these brand new wings
It sure feels good must be doin' the right thing
Cause it hurts to be near this ugly side of you
So I'm sorry, but you and I are thru
Yea I'm sorry, for wastin' my years with you
