Too Hard to Say I'm Sorry

de Charley Pride

Just two words were all that she would ask of me
And I could have the world and all its holds for me
Of love and tender care not the pain and the sorrow
That will be mine tomorrow but I just can't seem to say it I'm sorry
I know exactly what I should do admit I'm wrong it wouldn't take long
And she'd forgive me
And I know exactly what I ought to say but I'm not built that way
Wish that I could say I'm sorry
I'm a man at least that's what I'll like to think
A stubborn man who now is standing on the brink
Of hate and dispair and I care and I'm sorry
And I ought to tell her but I just can't seem to say it I'm sorry
I know exactly what I should do
But I'm a fool I guess I'll do the things that fools do
I'll stand and watch my dreams go down the drain in my stubborn way
And as they sink I'll say I'm sorry
