I could feel it in the silence, in the space we never filled
All the words I left unspoken, all the pride I couldn't kill
I let anger do the talking, let the shadows hide the pain
But now the weight is heavy, and I'm lost out in the rain
It's hard to say I'm sorry, when I've held it back so long
To face what I have broken, admit that I was wrong
But maybe if I try to lay my pride aside
We could find a way back, through the tears we've cried
It's hard to say I'm sorry, admit what I've denied
But it's harder if I lose you, to say to you goodbye
I see the hurt within your eyes, like the dawn through darkest night
And I know I let you down, when I should've held you tight
But the truth feels like it's drowning, and it catches in my throat
Still I know that I've got to let these bitter words unfold
It's hard to say I'm sorry, to stand naked in my shame
To show you all the pieces of the one who's to blame
But if I take that step, and let go of my pride
Maybe we can find love on the other side
It's hard to say I'm sorry, admit what I've denied
But it's harder if I lose you, to say to you goodbye
I know that sorry's just a word, but it's all I have to give
And I hope that you can hear it, and maybe learn to forgive
I'll hold onto the moment, when I let my armor down
Just hoping that you're here, still waiting around
It's hard to say I'm sorry, but it's time that I let go
Of the walls that I've been building, the hurt I wouldn't show
And though the road ahead might be rough and long
I'll fight to make it right, and mend where I went wrong
It's hard to say I'm sorry, admit what I've denied
But it's harder if I lose you, to say to you goodbye
I'm here, I'm saying sorry, no more hiding in disguise
I'm ready for the truth now, to look into your eyes
It's hard to say I'm sorry, admit what I've denied
But it's harder if I lose you, to say to you goodbye
