In any relationship, quarrels, arguments, and misunderstandings are not uncommon. They are practically inevitable, but the nice thing about them is that you can always apologize, kiss, and make up.
To some people, however, including myself, saying “I’m sorry” is never easy. Chicago said this perfectly when they came up with the song “Hard to Say I’m Sorry”.
It’s hard for me to say I’m sorry
I just want you to stay
After all that we’ve been through
I will make it up to you
I promise to
In the heat of any argument, there’s an option for both parties to stay away from one another, even for a brief moment. Usually, this provides breathing space and a time for reflection.
Everybody needs a little time away
I heard her say
From each other
Even lovers need a holiday
Far away from each other
Still, as we eventually realize, we need the love of our life by our side. Arguments will come and go, but love and affection can never fade, especially if it’s real and true.
Couldn’t stand to be kept away
Just for the day
From your body
Wouldn’t want to be swept away
Far away
From the one that I love
It’s time to settle your differences with your loved one. Listen together to the full version of “Hard to Say I’m Sorry” here:
Former Chicago bassist Peter Cetera was lead vocalist for “Hard to Say I’m Sorry”. Released in 1982, the song was the lead track of the band’s Chicago 16 album. It ranked first place in Billboard’s Hot 100 and kept that position for two weeks. That same year, the song achieved gold record status as awarded by the RICAA (Recording Industry Association of America). It was later used in the film “Summer Lovers” as soundtrack and ending theme.
