Andrew Peterson - I Want To Say I'm Sorry

I Want To Say I'm Sorry

Well, I want to say I'm sorry but I don't know how
But I'm sorry, I'm so sorry now
I said some words to you I wish I never said
I know words can kill 'cause something's dead

And now my heart is like a catacomb
And I'm praying we can find a way to raise these bones
Again, oh, again

Well, I want to say I'm sorry but it's not enough
To close the wounds I opened up
So now I've got this sorrow and you've got that hurt
And we can't go back to who we were

Oh, but could that mean I'm someone new
Maybe I can love you better than I failed to do

Before the war

They'll tell you everything was beautiful and pure
But there was poison in the well from years before
And now I'm cleaning up this wreckage on the shore
And I don't want to fight with you no more

So I want to say I'm sorry that I drew the line
I built the wall, the fault is mine
And maybe now the only way to find some peace
Is just to give it time and trust in grace

So this is my communion hymn
I want to sit beside you at the feast, my friend
Again, again and again
And again
