I brace my heart for the relapse
I'm waiting now for the shame
I've been somewhere and I won't go back again

I'm holding out for some mercy
I'm praying that you'll forgive
I've said something and I can't take it back again

I'm sorry now, now that it's over
You're world crashed down, and I ran for cover
I'm sorry now, now that it's over

How I wanted to show the way
So I pushed you aside I wanted to save the day, but I let you cry

How I stood there so silently
And let the moments pass by
I was too late to change the phrase and it crushed your life

I'm sorry now, now that it's over
You're world crashed down, and I ran for cover
I'm sorry now, now that it's over

We all want to lead but we're falling behind
Everyone wants to save themselves
We all want to lead but we're falling behind
Everyone wants to save themselves
