Words and Music by Ron Lawrence

I'd love to tell you what you want to hear
But you know it isn't true,
and I wouldn't lie to you.
The way to move this forward isn't clear
Still you have to find your way
And there's nothing left to say,
except...

Chorus:

I'm sorry...
            That's just the way it is.
I'm sorry...
            As far as I can see
no good can come of this.
I'm sorry...
            To have to play this part.
I'm sorry...
I'm sorry that
            It has to mean a broken heart.

The words I know are simply not enough
To restore us and transcend
a rule that must offend.
It's said that “They will know us by our love.”
But love's in short supply
Though not for you; and I
must say...

Chorus  ...I'm sorry...

It's written any number of ways.
You'd find it if you could
But none of them are good
It doesn't mean exclusion from grace.
When it comes to His command
Which one of us can stand?
But still...

Chorus (2x)  ...I'm sorry...

I'd love to tell you what you want to hear
But you know it isn't true,
and I wouldn't lie to you.
