Lyrics
Sammy I didn't mean to hurt you
I'd like to say I'M SORRY
But you only want to see your side of things
Sammy I'm not here to make excuses
I'm here to take responsibility for all the things that I did
Chorus:
I'm not standing here trying to change your mind
I can only say I made mistakes along the way
I'm not perfect and I hope someday that you will find
Bridge:
A way to hear me say
What I'm here to say
I'M SORRY
Sammy the past is here to haunt me
Now that I've come to face things
My one regret is hurting you
Sammy life is not what happened
It's how I chose to handle it
So I could learn forgive and grow and get through
Chorus:
I'm not standing here trying to change your mind
I can only say I've made mistakes along the way
I'm not perfect and I hope someday that you will fin
Bridge:
A way to hear me say
What I'm here to say
I'M SORRY
