If you're wrong and you know it, I'd encourage you to still avoid "I'm sorry" and say something like "I'm wrong and I know it. I want to fix things between us. What should I do?" There's a vulnerability there you're getting in touch with, and simply saying "I'm sorry," especially if this is a wrong you've committed before or a person you've hurt before, isn't going to cut it either!
