"Softly Spoken" lyrics

I'm thunder, you're lightning
The clouds come and we appear
I hurt you, you hurt me
It hurts we never show our tears
I scream out, you slam doors
So loud that it is never clear
I'm sorry

I might be defensive
But I promise that I'm listening
Despite all my fences
Know I'll always let you in
It kills me, this silence
So quiet it is deafening
I'm sorry

Sorry is a word we don't wanna say
Sorry takes time, but it's never too late
Sorry is a word you wait for halfway hoping
Softly spoken
Softly spoken

The lights out, you lay here
Beside me but so far away
I whisper I'm sorry
I'm sorry that's so hard to say
I might try tomorrow
Or leave it for another day
I'm sorry

Saying sorry doesn't have to mean you're wrong
Sorry's just a sign that the love ain't gone
Sorry sounds best when you say it with your heart wide open
Softly spoken
Softly spoken

I think that maybe I let ya
I think that maybe I let you down
I think that maybe you let me down
I think that maybe I let ya
I think that maybe I let you down
I think that maybe you let me down
Ain't the best words
Softly spoken
