How do you say you're sorry

              After the damage is done,

                     How do you get back what you have lost

                At one time you had won

                                

                     The terrible words that were spoken

                     Words that came out wrong,

                       It's to late to say "I'm sorry"

                       Because today I found you gone

                                 

                    You left in such a hurry

                      You forgot to close the door,

                     There's hot coffee on the stove

                      And your cup was on the floor

                             

                     Your clothes that hung in the closet

                 No

                   The wedding ring I gave you

                  I found lying on the ground

                   

                   Upon the bathroom mirror

                  A message painted in red,

                 I started reading the words

               And this is what they said

                 

               "Sorry" is only a word

                   You have used all these years,

                 "Sorry" can never mend

                All the hurt and many tears

           

             So I'm telling you, "I'm sorry"

         For the next one in your life,

      I'm "sorry" if she accepts

      The role of being your wife
