I Am Sorry



I am sorry for the pain I've caused
For the wounds that still haven't paused
The hurtful words that I have said
The tears that you have shed

I wish I could take it all back
And make up for the love that I lack
I know that apologies can't change the past
But I hope this one will last

I am sorry for my selfish ways
For the mistakes that I made every day
I promise to be better from now on
And to make up for all that is gone

Please forgive me for all that I've done
And give me a chance to make it right, one by one
I am sorry, and I truly mean it
Let's move forward, and leave all of it.

I'm sorry for the hurt I caused,
For the tears you shed and the love I lost,
I know I was wrong and I can't take it back,
But I hope this apology can be a small track.

I never meant to hurt you, my love,
But I let my actions speak louder than my words,
I should have listened to what you had to say,
And worked harder to make things okay.

I know it won't be easy to trust me again,
But I promise to make amends and make things right,
I'll work on myself and be a better person,
And I hope you can forgive me and give me another chance.

I'm sorry for the pain I caused,
For the sleepless nights and the heavy hearts,
I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive,
And let me prove to you that I still care and live.

I'm sorry for the things I've done,
The hurt I caused, the battles won,
I didn't mean to cause you pain,
Or make you feel like you're to blame.

I know I've hurt you, that's clear to see,
And it's something that eats away at me,
I wish I could turn back time,
And erase the words that were once mine.

I'm sorry for the tears you've cried,
For the times I left you feeling fried,
I never wanted to cause you harm,
But I know I've left you with scars.

I hope someday you can forgive,
And that our relationship can again live,
I'll do my best to make it right,
And bring back the love we once held tight.

I know sorry can't undo the past,
But I promise to make our love last,
Please accept my heartfelt plea,
And let our love flourish once more, you'll see.

I'm sorry for the hurt I've caused,
For the pain that I have brought.
I know that words can cut so deep,
And leave scars that time cannot heal.

I wish I could take back the things I've said,
And make things right again.
But I know that words, once spoken,
Can never be unsaid.

So I'll try to make amends,
And show you that I care.
I'll do my best to make things right,
And hope that you can forgive me.

For I am only human,
And sometimes I make mistakes.
But I promise to learn from them,
And try to be a better person.

So please accept my heartfelt apologies,
And know that I am truly sorry.
I hope that we can put this behind us,
And move forward together, strong and free.

I'm sorry for the words I said,
For all the hurt they caused instead,
I spoke in haste, without a thought,
And in the end, I came up short.

I'm sorry for the tears you cried,
For all the pain you kept inside,
I never meant to cause you harm,
But now I see, I caused alarm.

I'm sorry for the sleepless nights,
For all the worries and the frights,
I know I let you down, my friend,
And for that, I'm sorry until the end.

I wish I could turn back the time,
And take back all those hurtful rhymes,
But all I can do now is to say,
"I'm sorry," each and every day.

I hope that you can find it in your heart,
To forgive me, though we've been apart,
And know that I regret what I've done,
And hope that our friendship can be won.
