Contrition

Lyrics

[Verse 1] He's wrong She's right He knows it, but stands his ground just so he can win the fight He's right She's wrong She knows it, but doesn't budge because this proves that she is strong [Pre-Chorus 1] They knew the words They never spoke They got stuck inside Their swollen throats Pride is the meal On which they choke [Chorus] And who's gonna say "I'm s-s-s-s-sorry"? "Put the gun away, I'm s-s-s-s-sorry" Who will be strong By becoming weak? Who will be left to Turn the other cheek and say "I'm sorry"? [Verse 2] He makes his point She disagrees But she won't stop until she has him crawlin' round on hands and knees Her good intent Was redefined He's sure she's dissed him, since he thinks that he can easily read her mind [Pre-Chorus 2] We're diggin' in Love be damned Lines are drawn In the sand We're fighting for The upper hand [Chorus] And who's gonna say "I'm s-s-s-s-sorry"? "Put the gun away, I'm s-s-s-s-sorry" Who will be strong By becoming weak? Who will be left to Turn the other cheek and say "I'm sorry"? [Guitar Solo] [Verse 3] We've lit the fuse We watch it burn They've got it comin' to 'em, far as anybody here's concerned We're heading for "No turning back" They'll be no peace until we finally, and completely, wipe them off the map [Pre-Chorus 3] (He's wrong) We're diggin' in (She's right) Love be damned (He knows) Lines are drawn (But stands) In the sand (His ground) We're fightin' for (So he) The upper hand (Can win the fight) [Chorus] And who's gonna say "I'm s-s-s-s-sorry"? "Put the gun away, I'm s-s-s-s-sorry" Who will be strong (We're diggin' in) By becoming weak? (Love be damned) Who will be left (Lines are drawn) To turn the other cheek and say "I'm sorry"? [Chorus] (Sorry) Sorry (Sorry) Sorry (Sorry) Forgive me I'm sorry Forgive me I'm sorry
