Too Hard To Say I'm Sorry Lyrics

Charley Pride Too Hard To Say I'm Sorry

Songwriters: Clement, Jack; Johnson, Jack;

Just two words were all that she would ask of me
And I could have the world and all it holds for me
Of love and tender care, not the pain and the sorrow
That will be mine tomorrow but I just can't seem to say it, I'm sorry

I know exactly what I should do, admit I'm wrong
It wouldn't take long and she'd forgive me
And I know exactly what I ought to say but I'm not built that way
Wish that I could say, I'm sorry

I'm a man at least that's what I'll like to think
A stubborn man who now is standing on the brink
Of hate and despair and I care and I'm sorry
And I ought to tell her but I just can't seem to say it, I'm sorry

I know exactly what I should do
But I'm a fool I guess, I'll do the things that fools do
I'll stand and watch my dreams go down the drain in my stubborn way
And as they sink, I'll say, I'm sorry
