You hope the words will come out according to plan
How she's been there herself, how she'll understand
It was only a matter of things getting out of hand
You can tell her you know how afraid she was
How there's nothing to fear now, just because
It will never happen again, until it does
Chorus
She only wants to keep the pain from lingering on
She wants something she can lay her faith upon
What are you gonna say when all your words ring hollow?
Are you gonna cry yourself to sleep
With promises you don't intend to keep?
There's nothing left to say when all your words ring hollow
She has to forgive you, she has to know
Just how sorry you are, with no place to go
How you never thought you could ever sink this low
You can tell her you know what you've put her through
How you love her and know that she loves you too
And you'll never hurt her again, until you do
It's amazing what she'll overcome
When she really loves someone
You're ashamed to face her after all you've done
She wants to keep the pain from lingering on
Something to lay her faith upon
And you'll never hurt her again, because she's gone
