I’d crawl through the desert on my hands and knees
Rehearsing my pretty pleas,
Climb the highest mountain,
If I were sorry.
Shout it from the top,
Swim under water until my lungs exploded,
Walk into the fire,
If I were sorry.
I’d run a thousand miles,
Wouldn’t stop until I dropped,
Wouldn’t take a break to breathe
Until I got close enough.
Then I’d do it all again,
If I really had the chance,
But I know deep inside for you
It’s just another dance.
If I were sorry
I’d give you all the glory,
If I were sorry.
If I were sorry,
It would be a different story
If I were sorry,
If I were sorry, oh
I’d hold my breath until my face turned blue,
I’d rob a bank and the post office too,
Swim across the ocean,
If I were sorry
I’d take a vow of silence,
I wouldn’t say a single word
Until you really heard,
If I were sorry
I’d run a thousand miles,
Wouldn’t stop until I dropped,
Wouldn’t take the break to breathe
Until I got close enough.
If I were sorry
I’d give you all the glory,
If I were sorry.
If I were sorry
It would be a different story,
If I were sorry, oh
Now, did you ever realize
That your mistake had a prize,
Or you threw it all away
'Cause you’re the devil in disguise?
Now, would you ever realize
The consequences of your lies,
And would you save the falling tear,
Or act as if there’s nothing there?
If I were sorry,
If I were sorry,
If I were sorry,
If I were sorry,
If I were sorry
I’d take a vow of silence,
I wouldn’t say a single word,
If I were sorry.
If I were sorry,
I’d be on my hands and knees
Begging pretty pleas,
If I were sorry,
But I’m not sorry,
No.
