You Don't Have To Say You're Sorry Lyrics

You don't have to say you're sorry 
We all make mistakes, I've made my share, oh 
You don't have to say you're sorry 
I don't need those words to know you care 
Explanations aren't required even though you think you should 
I don't need to know the reasons, No, not even if they're good 
You don't have to say you're sorry, But I sure do wish you would 

You don't have to say you're sorry 
and that's a silly game that children play, oh 
You don't have to say you're sorry, no 
No, you shouldn't have to live that way 

You don't have to say you're sorry 
Cause we're both too old it's true 
Well they say when you love someone, forgiveness is the rule 
You don't have to say you're sorry, But I sure do wish you would 

Explanations aren't required, even though you think you should 
I don't need to know your reasons 
No, not even if they're good 
You don't have to say you're sorry 
But I sure do wish you would, I wish you would
