Verse 1
I’ve been staring at this old front porch,
Thinkin’ ’bout the man I should’ve been.
All the nights I let you down,
All the times I made you cry again.
If sorry had a voice, baby,
It’d sound like me right now…
Beggin’ you to hear me out,
Tryin’ to turn this hurt around.
Chorus
’Cause I’m sorry for the mistakes,
Sorry for the heart I broke in two.
Sorry I ain’t been the husband
You always deserved me to.
But if you give me just one chance,
I’ll prove this time I’ll never run.
I might not buy you diamond rings,
But I’ll love you with every beat of my heart
’Til my last breath is done.
I swear on the Bible, girl, I’ll never
Break your heart again…
I just wanna hear you say “I love you”
Like you did back then.
Baby… let’s get back to us again.
Verse 2
I know trust don’t grow back easy,
I know your tears got reasons too.
And every one of them reminds me
Of the hurt I put you through.
But I ain’t that same lost boy,
I’m standin’ here a wiser man…
Hoping you’ll take my shaking hand,
Give me one more chance to stand.
Chorus
’Cause I’m sorry for the mistakes,
Sorry for the heart I broke in two.
Sorry I ain’t been the husband
You always deserved me to.
But if you give me just one chance,
I’ll prove this time I’ll never run.
I might not buy you diamond rings,
But I’ll love you with every beat of my heart
’Til my last breath is done.
I swear on the Bible, girl, I’ll never
Break your heart again…
I just wanna hear you say “I love you”
Like you did back then.
Baby… let’s get back to us again.
Bridge
If I could rewrite every moment,
I’d turn those storms into better days.
But all I’ve got is right now,
And this promise I ain’t breakin’ any way.
Final Chorus
I’m sorry for the mistakes,
Sorry for the man I used to be…
But I’ll fight for you forever
If you’ll still fight for me.
Give me just one chance,
Let me show you I can be that man—
Your rock, your friend,
The one you count on ’til the end.
I swear on the Bible, girl, I’ll never
Break your heart again…
I just wanna hear you whisper “I love you”
One more time…
Baby, come back to us again.
