Pride rides before a fall
and oh, how you have fallen
two words could have saved it all
but your lips could not form them
did you never say the words �i'm sorry'
or know the sweet and gentle glory of forgiveness. forgiveness
We shared a rare and precious love
but now the spell is broken
deep down you know, you surely must
it's all because of words unspoken
no you've never said the words �i'm sorry'
or know the sweet and gentle glory of forgiveness. forgiveness.
I didn't want to win a war
i just longed to be your friend
if you'd just said what i was waiting for
we could have started all over again
Because regrets, oh they're nothing new
but still, they're hard to swallow
so don't pretend you don't know the truth
a life like that is sad and hollow
so if you ever say the words �i'm sorry'
and know the sweet and gentle glory of forgiveness
then i'm sorry too.
