Let me apologize For the tears in my eyes It's not your fault, you see You couldn't stay with me Years now have come and gone And still I write these songs It helps me not to cry so much But oh, how I crave your touch And I'm still asking why You had to die Stubborn salty tears Let me apologize I didn't realize Have I been hurting you It's not what I meant to do God, give me the might To help me fight These stubborn salty tears And I'll stop asking why You had to die Stubborn salty tears
