Lyrics
Another day has come and gone
Another fight for what is wrong
As the moon escapes the night's horizon
I hear the beating of your heart
There's no place left for us to start
And you know that there's no use in trying
Words that flow so simply from me
Could leave scars that would bleed forever
(chorus)
I know that it's over now
I look and I can't see how
After all I did to say
I'm Sorry
It's a feeling that just won't go
And words could never show
After what I did to say
I'm Sorry
You were a diamond without flaw
And it was I that never saw
That we really don't belong together
My love turned gold to tarnished brass
Precious stones to broken glass
You truly did deserve much better
With this jealous love that I possessed
I couldn't hold you till I made you something less
(chorus)
(instrumental break)
To move on from shattered pasts
Avoid the die from which I'm cast
See me for what I've taken from you
And now I love you more today
Than I could if you had stayed
I hope you find someone who's worthy of you
That smile that fades from your face
Is a memory that I can't erase
(chorus)
