Story Behind The Song
A song relating to an abusive relationship and how the woman has come to realise that she can never change her man. The same pattern emerges time and again with the abuse and then the 'sorry game' where he is so very sorry after and says it'll never happen again.
She has now decided that she can never change him and it's over.

Lyrics
You can be so charming
You can make me feel like a million dollars
And when you act that way
I'm so grateful that I'm yours
But sitting in the bathroom
Tears running down my face
I know this time it has to end
I have to leave you, and this place
It was always the same pattern
You'd pick up on a word I'd said
A look I gave, the clothes I wore
And I knew in my dread
(chorus)
You'd fly into a rage and a monster would emerge
I'd be the subject of all your hate
And you'd hit me with your fists and words
But now it's all over, it'll never be the same
No more will I accept you're I'm sorry game
The sorry game
You'd leave me crying, laying on the floor
Crumbled dreams, bruised and hurt
I had wanted to change you into so much more
But you'll never change (change)
(bridge)
I always thought I knew you
That you would change in time
But I'm not your rescuer
This was the final time
(chorus)
You'd fly into a rage and a monster would emerge
I'd be the subject of all your hate
And you'd hit me with your fists and words
But now it's all over, it'll never be the same
No more will I accept you're I'm sorry game
The sorry game
All my friends had told me
To get away from you
They couldn't understand why I stayed
They saw all you did to me - yes they always knew (they knew)
No more make up over bruises
No more broken soul
No more listening to you say
I'm sorry, forgive me, for all
(chorus)
You'd fly into a rage and a monster would emerge
I'd be the subject of all your hate
And you'd hit me with your fists and words
But now it's all over, it'll never be the same
No more will I accept you're I'm sorry game
The sorry game
And if you try again to play your sorry game
With tears, begging me to forgive
And saying it won't happen again
It to late - it's now my time to live
You had your chances and used them all
You promised you'll never hurt me again
But I know it's who you are
So no more, yeah, no more sorry game
No more sorry game
Sorry game
