When Sorry's Not Enough

[Verse 1] You left your coat on the chair Still smells like rain and roads I folded up your little note And tucked it where the cold wind goes I said, "I'm fine" too fast Like a lie could save the day Now the kettle keeps on singing What I never got to say [Pre-Chorus] I replay every turn Every sharp little word And I know, and I know It cut deeper than I heard If I reached for your hand Would you still be here now? Or did I make the last soft thing Into the hardest sound? [Chorus] When sorry's not enough When sorry's not enough I can say it all night But it won't make us up When sorry's not enough When sorry's not enough I'm still holding your name Like a crack in my trust [Verse 2] Your mug by the sink is chipped That tiny blue line still there I rinse it slow in the dawn Like I might fix what wasn't fair You gave me your whole soft truth I gave you half my fear Now the room feels way too open With your silence hanging here [Pre-Chorus] I replay every turn Every sharp little word And I know, and I know It cut deeper than I heard If I reached for your hand Would you still be here now? Or did I make the last soft thing Into the hardest sound? [Chorus] When sorry's not enough When sorry's not enough I can say it all night But it won't make us up When sorry's not enough When sorry's not enough I'm still holding your name Like a crack in my trust [Bridge] If you ever hear this song On some grey and ordinary day I hope it doesn't drag you down I hope it gives you room to breathe 'Cause I was wrong And I let you fall I was late to love Late to hear it all [Final Chorus] When sorry's not enough When sorry's not enough I can say it all night But it won't make us up When sorry's not enough When sorry's not enough Still I hope somewhere in you There's a door cracked open love When sorry's not enough When sorry's not enough If you ever come back I'll be more than words enough [Outro] Mmm, more than words enough Mmm, more than words enough *When Sorry's Not Enough* *When Sorry's Not Enough* is an original contemporary emotional pop ballad that tells the story of a love that slipped away despite sincere regret.
