Sorry Won't Work This Time

I wanted to write happy songs Share the good times in my life But every time I'd start to write That's when I'd see your face come to my mind And I still hear those pathetic words you said to me before I left you Yeah, I finally left you And just when I think that I've finally escaped them over and over it plays them My mind plays them I wish I could say it's alright But "sorry" won't give me the tears I cried And "sorry" won't give me the reason why 'Cause "sorry" still played the fool in the lie Made me look foolishly every night Thinking you would come home to my side But "sorry" won't work this time I prayed to God every night "Lord help me better to treat you right" Cause at the end of every fight "Baby it's me, not you" I was convinced with all my might And I still feel every bruise that you left here You left your imprint on my heart, dear Here on my heart dear And just when my mind couldn't get any clearer I started seeing you in my mirror Oh, there in my mirror I wish I could say it's alright But "sorry" won't give me the tears I cried And "sorry" won't give me the reason why Cause "sorry" still played the fool in the lie Made me look foolishly every night thinking you would come home to my side But "sorry" won't work this time See I played the fool (I played it long enough) I traded my family for you (Gave it all up) Now you begging on your knees (Begging on your knees) Asking me "please" (Still won't change a thing) See I (This time I'm choosing me) I wish I could say it's alright Alright But "sorry" won't give me the tears I cried And "sorry" won't give me the reason why You chose to do me the way you did I wanted to be everything you needed Oh your words don't mean a thing I'm so glad I didn't buy that ring But "I'm sorry" won't work this time
