I hear the rain falling down outside
But I feel every drop of rain here inside
Every time it rains, the rhythm is always the same
Always calling out to me your name
And those words that you were so right to say
Sorry, just won’t do
Sorry, just won’t do
For what I did to you
I betrayed all of your trust in me
With someone who was so close to you
Not only your best friend, but your sister too
Why I did it, that’s something no one ever knew
Maybe it was just because I could
And after you had defended me to everyone for so long
I just proved to everyone and your mother they were right
Proved to them all that I was no good
Sorry, just won’t do
Sorry, just won’t do
It was not only your heart
But your world that I tore apart
And you had every right to say
This time sorry just won’t do
Turn your back on me, and walk away
If it’s any consolation to you
Everyday I regret what I did, but I can’t undo
I know you’ve moved on, and it’s only right
And someone else is holding you tonight
Sorry just won’t do
Sorry just won’t do
So now, every time I hear the falling rain
I hear your name, I see your face
I watch again your tears falling like the rain
Knowing that nothing in my life
Will ever be as good again
Ever come close to feeling the same
Sometimes I walk out into the falling rain
Try to wipe away from me your tears
Knowing now that there are times
When sorry just won’t do
Sorry just won’t do
Sorry just won’t do
