words don't come easily

baby, can i hold you ~ tracy chapman

"sorry,
is all that you cant say,
years gone by and still,
words dont come easily;

like sorry,
like sorry."

there are more than a billion words in the english language, and any number of other languages, i would like to hear today except for i'm sorry. and i thought "i love you" was overused and under-meant, but truly "i'm sorry" takes the cake. there is only two people who i think i could hear it from and think it genuine, but then again, i'm not even sure on that.

maybe we should all try instead to live our life in a way that reduces the need to use those two words.
