Story Behind The Song

Well I sort of sat down with my demons and thought about all of the times I had said something hurtful to someone I loved. Can't take those things back, but you can apologize.

Song Description

A song about sticking your foot in your mouth and wishing you could take it back

Lyrics

Sure would like to take it back if I could
Sure would love to make it better
I'd stop the clock and turn the hand
Around back to the hour
But I don't have that kind of power
It's been said it's been done
The tide is set in motion
By my careless tongue
If I could breath the words back into my lungs
But right now that doesn't matter
What a fool I am
I put us n this place again
When I want to begin again
I have to admit
I got a whole lot to learn about
What a fool I am
I put us in this place again
Seems I just can't win
I have to admit
I got a whole lot to learn about you
So much time is spent trying to understand
The workings of the next man
No one tries harder than I do
Yet here I stand in quicksand
There's no doubt I fell out
From my best intentions now
And that's what makes me human
So won't you please accept my sincere apology
And all the humble rest of me
What a fool I am
I put us n this place again
When I want to begin again
I have to admit
I got a whole lot to learn about
What a fool I am
I put us in this place again
Seems I just can't win
I have to admit
I got a whole lot to learn about you
My fear runs high
When I think of what I'm losing this time
I've stepped outside
From everything I feel in my pride
Forgive me I
Want to make it better can't I
Even if I try
The truth has become my crime
