Man cheats, and his woman leaves him for it. This is him saying he is sorry, and that she can’t go. Though he realizes she has the right and tells her why he will let her go.

I lied, I lied to you

but now I want you to know what is true

Yes I lied, yes I cheated

and my lying wasn’t needed

What I really need to say

I shouldn’t have acted that way

I should just let you leave me

but I can’t just let that be

I want you to know

is I am sorry and I want it to show

I no longer want you

I need you, this is true

Please don’t go

There is something I want you to know

This will never happen again

but men will be men?

I made a mistake I know this is so

but I can’t sit here and watch you go

I just need to say I love you

I hope you love me too

I will let you go and here is why

my old man told me when I was a small fry

let the one you love go

and she will come back if she loves you, you know

I love you, so walk away

I will be here waiting when you come back one day
