[Verse 1]
Seems like it was yesterday when I saw your face
You told me how proud you were, but I walked away
If only I knew what I know today
Ooh, ooh
[Pre-Chorus]
I would hold you in my arms
I would take the pain away
Thank you for all you've done
Forgive all your mistakes
There's nothing I wouldn't do
To hear your voice again
Sometimes I wanna call you
But I know you won't be there
[Chorus]
Oh, I'm sorry for blaming you
For everything I just couldn't do
And I've hurt myself by hurting you
[Verse 2]
Some days I feel broke inside, but I won't admit
Sometimes I just wanna hide 'cause it's you I miss
And it's so hard to say goodbye when it comes to this
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ah
[Pre-Chorus]
Would you tell me I was wrong?
Would you help me understand?
Are you lookin' down upon me?
Are you proud of who I am?
There's nothing I wouldn't do
To have just one more chance
To look into your eyes
And see you looking back
[Chorus]
Oh, I'm sorry for blaming you
For everything I just couldn't do
And I've hurt myself
Oh, oh
[Bridge]
If I had just one more day
I would tell you how much that I've missed you since you've been away
Oh, it's dangerous
It's so out of line
To try and turn back time
[Chorus]
I'm sorry for blaming you
For everything I just couldn't do
And I've hurt myself
By hurting you
Seems like it was yesterday when I saw your face
You told me how proud you were, but I walked away
If only I knew what I know today
Ooh, ooh
[Pre-Chorus]
I would hold you in my arms
I would take the pain away
Thank you for all you've done
Forgive all your mistakes
There's nothing I wouldn't do
To hear your voice again
Sometimes I wanna call you
But I know you won't be there
[Chorus]
Oh, I'm sorry for blaming you
For everything I just couldn't do
And I've hurt myself by hurting you
[Verse 2]
Some days I feel broke inside, but I won't admit
Sometimes I just wanna hide 'cause it's you I miss
And it's so hard to say goodbye when it comes to this
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ah
[Pre-Chorus]
Would you tell me I was wrong?
Would you help me understand?
Are you lookin' down upon me?
Are you proud of who I am?
There's nothing I wouldn't do
To have just one more chance
To look into your eyes
And see you looking back
[Chorus]
Oh, I'm sorry for blaming you
For everything I just couldn't do
And I've hurt myself
Oh, oh
[Bridge]
If I had just one more day
I would tell you how much that I've missed you since you've been away
Oh, it's dangerous
It's so out of line
To try and turn back time
[Chorus]
I'm sorry for blaming you
For everything I just couldn't do
And I've hurt myself
By hurting you
