How Can You Say That?

How can you say 'I'm sorry'?
Cuz after all is said and done
He's left with a broken heart
And maybe just maybe
You could make it hurt less
But maybe just maybe
It would only hurt more
Cuz doesn't he deserve more than
'I'm sorry'?

How can you say 'I don't know'?
The answers there on the tip of your tongue
It wouldn't be wrong to start speaking your mind
And maybe just maybe
You wouldn't be so sad and angry
But maybe just maybe
Others would get sad and angry
Cuz words can hurt so is it safer to stick with
'I don't know'?

How can you say 'I tried'?
Will trying get you anywhere
You gotta start doing
And maybe just maybe
They'll be wrong and you'll have a future
But maybe just maybe
They'll be right and you'll have nothing
Cuz they've been rich every time you've said
'I don't know'
