[Verse 1] I mess up, I know I do I see the pain I caused when I look at you I don’t have all the answers, I never did But I keep on stumbling, trying to live I see the hurt in your eyes when I let you down The way you turn away without a sound I wish I could go back and change the past But all I have is this broken heart at last [Pre-Chorus] I can say the words, I can make the sound But words don’t fix what’s broken on the ground [Chorus] Sorry don’t help when the damage is done Sorry don’t heal what I broke with my tongue I know I mess up, I know I fall short But I’m still here trying to be better than before Sorry don’t help… sorry don’t help… But I’m still here learning how to love you right [Verse 2] I get loud when I should just stay quiet I get proud when I should be reaching higher I don’t know the answers, I’m figuring it out But I keep on showing up even when I doubt You deserve better than my half-hearted tries But I’m in the trenches fighting for your eyes To see the man I’m trying hard to be Even when I stumble, even when I bleed [Pre-Chorus] I can say the words, I can make the sound But words don’t fix what’s broken on the ground [Chorus] Sorry don’t help when the damage is done Sorry don’t heal what I broke with my tongue I know I mess up, I know I fall short But I’m still here trying to be better than before Sorry don’t help… sorry don’t help… But I’m still here learning how to love you right [Bridge – raw, vulnerable] I wish I could take back every time I failed Every moment I let my pride prevail I see the distance growing in your eyes And it tears me apart knowing I’m the reason why [Final Chorus – emotional, breaking] Sorry don’t help when the damage is done Sorry don’t heal what I broke with my tongue I know I mess up, I know I fall short But I’m still here trying to be better than before Sorry don’t help… sorry don’t help… But I’m still here… still here for you. [Outro – soft, fading] Sorry don’t help… But I’m still here… Still learning… Still loving you.
