| When your time on the mountain is over |
| And you fall to the earth like a leaf |
| It won't be enough these days to say sorry |
| Sorry won't pay for this grief |
| Chorus: |
| You may lay down your guilt on the altar |
| And nail your remorse to the cross |
| But it's not enough these days to say sorry |
| Sorry won't pay for this loss |
| And if the blood on your hands turns to water |
| And the night in your soul turns to day |
| It won't be enough this time to say sorry |
| Sorry won't wash it all away |
| Chorus |
| And when you're through with the spells you've been spinning |
| And your hopes and your dreams have all died |
| It won't be enough these days to say sorry |
| Sorry won't turn back the tide |
| Chorus |
| And if you should desist from deceiving |
| And if you should confess to the crime |
| It won't be enough these days to say sorry |
| Sorry won't save you this time |
| Chorus 2x |
Sorry
