[Intro] [fingerpicked acoustic guitar] [Verse 1] [baritone male vocals enter] Sometimes I'm sorry's not enough When words have been unkind Shakespeare missed this tragic truth When he wrote love is blind The scars that come from careless talk Can linger through the years When Shakespeare wrote that love is blind He missed that love has ears [Verse 2] The words we speak can be like salt That burns an open sore And love that's blind can start to wane And come to see once more Find patience every time you speak And choose each word you say You never want to use a word That might drive love away [Verse 3] Sometimes I'm sorry's not enough To mend a broken heart But please forgive me and I'm sorry Is a place to start Love's not blind and love's not deaf So always show respect By only using words and tones That help you two connect [Verse 4] Sweet words the wise man once compared To honey from the comb And tender words you speak in truth Can make a house a home Be quick to listen, slow to speak And when you speak be wise The man whose words reveal his heart Is a hero in her eyes [vocal sustain] The man whose words reveal his heart Is a hero in her eyes [acoustic guitar final chord]
