He had been thinking about it for awhile now
Like a disease, it had been plaguing his mind
He can't hold it in no longer, he must tell her
So he calls her up and leaves a message

Baby, I'm sorry I hurt you
I never meant to break your heart
And if you please take me back
I promise to never leave you again

But his call came three minutes too late
And as she lay there, dying, listening to his words, she couldn't believe what she heard
The last words that ever fell on her ears.

Baby, I'm sorry I hurt you
I never meant to break your heart
And if you please take me back
I promise to never leave you again

Now their chance at forever is gone
His call of retribution came just three minutes too late
Yet she died with a smile on her face
For the last words she ever heard were of love

Baby, I'm sorry I hurt you
I never meant to break your heart
And if you please take me back
I promise to never leave you again

They'll never be together again
Those three minutes cost them a lifetime
And with her last breath, she confessed her love also
Her dying words echoing his message

Baby, I'm sorry I hurt you
I never meant to break your heart
And if you please take me back
I promise to never leave you again
