I Can't Say I'm Sorry
Erik Segerstedt · A Different Shade [2007]
Hey baby tell me how do you do
It's been a while since I saw you
Strange to be talking to you this way
After everything that we've been through
It makes me sad to make you see
That not a single tear could find me, yeah!
Cause even when I'm looking back into your eyes
I can't say I'm sorry
When I think about the best days of my life
I can't say I'm sorry
Cause I can never tell myself I didn't try
I can't say I'm sorry now
I won't turn around
I can't say I'm sorry
So I hear you're hanging with someone new
Never thought I would ask the question
No, never thought I'd say this to you
But somehow it feels like a blessing
No more coulda, woulda, should
Now that feeling's gone for good
Cause even when I'm looking back into your eyes
I can't say I'm sorry
When I think about the best days of my life
I can't say I'm sorry
Cause I can never tell myself I didn't try
I can't say I'm sorry now
I won't turn around
I can't say I'm sorry
You're still devine, so beautiful
It won't be hard just to slip and fall
And my mind could start to wander away
Cause what we had was magical
But I know I've said goodbye
To whatever was left tonight, yeah!
I won't say I'm sorry now!
Cause even when I'm looking back into your eyes
I can't say I'm sorry
When I think about the best days of my life
I can't say I'm sorry
Cause I can never tell myself I didn't try
I can't say I'm sorry now, yeah!
Cause even when I'm looking back into your eyes
I can't say I'm sorry
When I think about the best days of my life
I can't say I'm sorry
Cause I can never tell myself I didn't try
I can't say I'm sorry now
I can't say, I can't say, I can't say
I can't say I'm sorry
I can't say I'm sorry now
I can't say I'm sorry
It's been a while since I saw you
Strange to be talking to you this way
After everything that we've been through
It makes me sad to make you see
