Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Words feel empty as I speak them
Into this void where you used to be
"Sorry" bounces off these walls now
Where your love once surrounded me
I've wrote songs for my excuses
For all the ways I did you wrong
But none of them seem good enough
Now that you are really gone
[Chorus]
Sorry doesn't fix the heart I broke
Sorry can't take back the words I spoke
Sorry's just a band-aid on a wound
That needed stitches long ago
Sorry doesn't bring back what we had
Sorry can't undo the things from our past
Sorry's just a word that comes too late
When love's already faded far away
[Verse 2]
Found your message on my phone
Where you poured out your soul
Telling me how much it hurt
To watch us fall apart
Only now I understand
Everything you tried to say
The timing just never right
After love has gone away
[Chorus]
Sorry doesn't fix the heart I broke
Sorry can't take back the words I spoke
Sorry's just a band-aid on a wound
That needed stitches long ago
Sorry doesn't bring back what we had
Sorry can't undo the things from our past
Sorry's just a word that comes too late
When love's already faded far away
[Bridge]
If actions speak louder than words
Then my silence screamed the truth
While you were begging me to stay
I thought only of myself
Now all the words I should have said
Reflect in this empty room
Now you're out there starting over
As I'm locked within my tomb
[Chorus]
Sorry doesn't fix the heart I broke
Sorry can't take back the words I spoke
Sorry's just a band-aid on a wound
That needed stitches long ago
Sorry doesn't bring back what we had
Sorry can't undo the things from our past
Sorry's just a word that comes too late
When love's already faded far away
