[Intro]
Oh, oh, ooh

[Chorus]
How do I say that I'm sorry
Without breaking down, breaking down?
Can we ever go back to the way
We both started out?
Help me out

[Verse 1]
I believe I've been misunderstood
My intentions have been nothing but good
Needed time, so I turned away
Thought I needed space (Mmm)
I admit I made a big mistake
So, please don't say a second chance is too late, babe
You've been better to me
Than I've been to myself, ooh

[Chorus]
How do I say that I'm sorry (Sorry)
Without breaking down (Ooh, breaking down), breaking down? (Oh, breaking down)
Can we ever go back to the way
We both started out? (Ooh, help me out)
Help me out (Help me out)
Help me out, help me out, help me out
(Mm-hmm, mm-hmm)
[Verse 2]
Don't wanna live my life without you
And loving someone else, you know it won't do
It'd be a crying shame to lose
Everything that we shared
Well, I don't know how else to break it down (Break it down)
My world stops turnin' when you're not around
You don't know what it would do to me
If you said, "I love you" again

[Chorus]
How do I say that I'm sorry (Sorry, sorry)
Without breaking down (Ooh, breaking down), breaking down? (Baby, I'm breaking down, yeah)
Can we ever go back to the way (Hey)
We both started out? (We both started out)
Help me out

[Bridge]
Oh, I know that I have caused you pain (Caused you pain)
Tell me, can we start all over again?
So, I can be all the things to you that you are to me (Oh, oh)
If you give me just one more chance, babe (One more chance)
I promise you, you won't regret it, no
Nothing in this world means more to me
Than you, you, you, yeah
[Chorus]
How do I say that I'm sorry (Oh, yeah)
Without breaking down (Oh, breaking down), breaking down? (I'm breaking down, baby)
Can we ever go back to the way (Oh, back to the way)
We both started out? (We both started out)
Help me out (Mmm)

[Break]
Didn't mean to make you cry, no
And I know, I know the pain I caused inside
I can make it good again
Baby, baby, baby, baby, I'm sorry

[Chorus]
How do I say that I'm sorry
Without breaking down (Ooh, yes, I'm breaking down), breaking down? (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Can we ever go back to the way (Ooh, the way)
We both started out? (We both started out)
Help me out
