When I said I'm sorry, I meant it.
Yomi's sittin' on the front porch swing,
Hands in his pockets, head hangin’ low.
Thinkin' 'bout words he let slip in the wind,
And the hearts that might’ve hurt down this old gravel road. When I said I'm sorry, I meant it.
He never meant to cause no pain or harm,
Just a simple man with a wandering mind.
But the weight of regret, it's restin' on his arm,
He’s gotta make it right, leave the past behind.
Yomi’s sorry, truly sorry, for the things he’s said and done,
Just a human made of flesh and bones, tryin' hard to run.
He cares about y’all deeply, so hear him now, dear friends,
With every beat of his humble heart, he hopes to make amends.
He’s seen the tears that fell because of him,
Reflectin' in the still of the midnight stream.
Whispers in the dark, they haunt him on a whim,
But he’s comin' clean now, tryin’ to redeem.
The road ain't always easy, it's filled with rocky turns,
But Yomi’s learnin' how to tread it slow.
For every bridge he’s crossed that's now just ashes and burns,
He’s ready with his heart, to let his true colors show.
Yomi’s sorry, truly sorry, for the wrongs he’s tried to mend,
Just a man with all his flaws, till the very end.
He cares about y’all deeply, so please just understand,
When I said I'm sorry I meant it.
With every step and simple word, he’s reachin’ out his hand
