Saying Sorry
Hawthorne Heights · If Only You Were Lonely [2006]
These words will fade when you explain why you hate them
We are the same, oh
She keeps repeating "I bet she needed"
She says she's right here, she seems so distant
Saying goodbye this time the same old story
Seeing you cry, it makes me feel like saying sorry
Just a few last hours we gotta make this count
We're counting backwards
(Just a few last hours, we gotta make this count)
We're falling forward
She keeps repeating "I bet she needed"
She says she's right here, she seems so distant
Saying goodbye this time, the same old story
Seeing you cry, it makes me feel like saying sorry
Saying goodbye this time, the same old story
Seeing you cry, it makes me feel like saying sorry
Saying sorry, we've fallen apart
Wish we knew this from the start
Saying goodbye's the hardest part
Wish we knew this from the start
Saying goodbye this time, the same old story
Seeing you cry, it makes me feel like saying sorry
Saying goodbye this time, the same old story
Seeing you cry, it makes me feel like saying sorry
Saying goodbye this time... this time...
Seeing you cry, it makes me feel like saying sorry
