  • Under the shadows, forbidden and hot
    Desire grows, more often than not

    I'm sorry's a stupid word, a stupid thing to say
    Especially considering it's not like I planned it this way

    But I'm sorry is all that there is left of me
    I'm so sorry this love made me hollow and left you empty

    Maybe I could have loved you better
    Maybe you should have loved me more
    Maybe our hearts were just next in line
    Maybe everything breaks sometime
    Everything breaks sometime

    It's hard to believe it's boiled down to this
    It seems so surreal this won't be healed by a kiss
    It's hard to stare at you knowing you like I have
    I used to feel so close, now I feel so bad

    My heart's filled with thunderstorms and I'm ready to burst
    And I've lost my favorite harbor and I'll weather for the worst

    Maybe I could have loved you better
    Maybe you should have loved me more
    Maybe our hearts were just next in line
    Maybe everything breaks sometime
    Everything breaks sometime
    I'm so sorry,
    Everything breaks sometime Writer/s: JEWEL KILCHER
