I still remember
Like it was yesterday
When you surrendered
And turned away
Though detrimental
The way you wounded me
Was accidental
To some degree
But was it the last time
Or just the first time
You say you’re sorry
So prove it to me, prove it to me
Apologetic can’t stand on its own
I’ve heard your story
So give me one good reason to believe
You’re truly sorry
Prove it to me, prove it to me
My own attrition
Is always close at hand
Crimes of omission
I understand
Though good intentions
Are always nice to get
Let down prevention
Is better yet
You say you’re sorry
So prove it to me, prove it to me
Apologetic can’t stand on its own
I’ve heard your story
So give me one good reason to believe
You’re truly sorry
Prove it to me, prove it to me
One time…it’s no big deal
Two times…still quick to heal
Three times…great, not again
Four times…when will it end
Five times…patience is gone
Six times, and on and on
I begin to wonder if you’re sorry at all
You say you’re sorry
So prove it to me, prove it to me
Apologetic can’t stand on its own
I’ve heard your story
So give me one good reason to believe
You’re truly sorry
Prove it to me, prove it to me
You say you’re sorry
So prove it to me, prove it to me
Apologetic can’t stand on its own
I’ve heard your story
So give me one good reason to believe
You’re truly sorry
Prove it to me, prove it to me
Prove it to me
