Under the shadows, forbidden and hot
Desire grows more often than not
I'm sorry is a stupid word
It's 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 whole
And left you empty
Maybe I should've loved you better
Maybe you should've 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 can't all be just healed by a kiss
It's hard to stare at you, knowing you like I have
We used to feel so close; now we feel so bad
And your arms were once just like the safest harbor
But now they offer no shelter from the storm
Maybe I could've loved you better
Maybe you should've loved me more
Maybe our hearts were just next in line
Maybe everything breaks sometime
Everything breaks sometime
I am so sorry
I guess everything breaks sometime

“I wrote this song about 20 years ago. But doing it now and recording it now, I didn’t get through it without sobbing on every single take. This song has more relevance now than it did when I wrote it.” — Picking Up the Pieces Press Release
