How Do I Say I’m Sorry
[Chorus]:
How do I say that I'm sorry
Without breaking down, breaking down
Can we ever go back to the way
We both started out, help me out

[Verse 1]:
I believe I've been misunderstood
My intentions have been nothing but good
Needed time, so I turned away
Thought I needed space
I admit I made a big mistake
So please don't say a second chance is too late (babe)
You've been better to me
Than I've been to myself

[Chorus]:
How do I say that I'm sorry (sorry)
Without breaking down (breaking down) breaking down (breaking down)
Can we ever go back to the way
We both started out, help me out
(oh we both started out oh help me out)
How do I say that I'm sorry
Without breaking down, breaking down
Can we ever go back to the way
We both started out (help me out) help me out
(Help me out) help me out, help me out, help me out
[Verse 2]:
Don't wanna live my life without you
And loving someone else, you know it won't do
It'd be a crying shame to lose
Everything that we shared
I don't know how else to break it down
My world stops turning when you're not around
You don't know what it would do me
If you said "I love you" again

[Chorus]:
How do I say that I'm sorry (sorry)
Without breaking down, breaking down
Can we ever go back to the way
We both started out, help me out
How do I say that I'm sorry
Without breaking down, breaking down (baby I'm breaking down)
Can we ever go back to the way
We both started out, help me out

[Bridge]:
I know that I have called you, babe
Tell me can't we start it all over again
So I can be all the things to you
That you are to me
If you give me just one more chance (babe)
I promise you won't regret it
Nothing in this world means more to me than you
[Chorus]:
How do I say that I'm sorry
Without breaking down, breaking down
Can we ever go back to the way
We both started out, help me out
How do I say that I'm sorry
Without breaking down, breaking down
Can we ever go back to the way
We both started out, help me out

[Verse 3]:
Didn't mean to make you cry
And I know, I know the pain I caused inside
I can make it good again
Baby, baby, baby, baby
I'm sorry

[Chorus]:
How do I say that I'm sorry
Without breaking down, breaking down
Can we ever go back to the way
We both started out, help me out
How do I say that I'm sorry
Without breaking down, breaking down
Can we ever go back to the way
We both started out, help me out
