I watch the seagulls fly in circles Diving down Take two steps forward into the water I throw myself down My arms propelling me into the tide One stroke out of time Struggling onwards this guilt at my side Leaving behind
Say I'm sorry Out of my depth but I can't come ashore Till I say I'm sorry I don't want to swim away anymore
Saltwater burning and blinding me The price of forgiveness, naiveté
Grey clouds come over, rain follows thunder Hammering down Kicking's still harder, land's getting closer Seas become sound Out of the ocean and clear of the tide Slip away, my pride Won't be forgiven till we reconcile Lower my eyes
Say I'm sorry Out of my depth but I can't come ashore Till I say I'm sorry I don't want to swim away anymore
Saltwater burning and blinding me A symptom becoming the remedy Begin once more
If fear fuels my tears Will it go when you know
Say I'm sorry Nothing unspoken and nowhere to hide, when I Say I'm sorry I don't want to feel this way anymore I'm sorry Let me say I'm sorry Begin once more
