1 Vs.
How many years Do we sit in silence? Down where the hurt and pain will grow
How many tears Must we keep on shedding? Until we say the hardest words

Chorus:
To have to say I’m sorry To have to mean those words
To want to pray forgive me These are the hardest words

Last Ch:
I'm sorry I mean these words Please forgive me

2 Vs
How many hurts Push us past all reason When claims of truth are mocked in vain
How many words Till your heart is tender Understanding with a heart of love

Bridge:
There's a river Of forgiveness pouring over me
Because I'm sorry And I aim to right this wrong in deed
And your reaction Doesn't change the meaning in my heart
I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry from my heart

3 Vs
How many fears Are there left inside us Fear of rejection, and being alone
As repentance lingers And hesitation lures It's the only card you've left to play
