In the fury of the moment When the words of wrath rang out When my mind was filled with questions And my head was filled with doubt I can still see sadness, heartbreak And the sorrow in your eyes How can flowers live in darkness? How can i apologize? For the blackness i've created In the world that used to shine I have wilted all the roses And have spoiled all the wine Just get out your magic pencil And erase the cloudy skies Just draw a picture of me Saying, "i apologize." Give me back the words i spoke in haste Give 'em back, our love will go to waste Give 'em back See the sunlight reappearing Through the shrouds of dark and blue As i hear the words forgiving me And watch the flowers bloom After time has lost that moment And we've mended broken ties I will still be on my knees Saying, "i apologize." Give me (back the words i spoke in haste) Give 'em (back, our love will go to waste) Give 'em (back)
