Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word

Neither of us ever thought
Back on the first day that we met
We were both so convinced that the dream
Would never end

Nobody saw the signs, man
It's funny how love is blind, man
'Cause it can be over just as fast
As it begins

So now I've been sitting here
I'm alone trying to stuff my fear
Checkin' out one of the pictures there up on the shelf

The story behind my song
Is that you never know what you got
Until it's gone

What I've gotta do to make you love me?
What I've gotta do to be heard?
What do I do when it's all over?
Sorry seems to be the hardest word

How can I forget that day
That I got up and walked away?
I can still see the tears and the years
Fall from your eyes

And now I'm all alone
I got nothin' else to do but pray
For the dream that I might have you back here
In my life

I'm hoping that now you can see
Between the real and the fantasy
Reality is rough but it always has a key

The story behind my words
Well, I hope you agree that the truth
Will set you free

What I've gotta do to make you love me?
What I've gotta do to be heard?
What do I do when it's all over?
Sorry seems to be the hardest word

What I've gotta do to make you love me?
What I've gotta do to be heard?
What do I do when it's all over?
Sorry seems to be the hardest word

Tell me what I gotta do
Oh, I need you in my life
