Lyrics
Verse One
Its been 6 months since you went away
I think about you almost everyday
and I wonder do you feel the same way too
knowing what it is you do
Chorus
And I'm sorry, so sorry I can't change your mind
and I'm sorry so sorry - I wish you were mine
Verse Two
When I look back on what we had
I think about my crime
It was that I had the best time I had
When you were mine
Chorus
And I'm sorry, so sorry I can't change your mind
and I'm sorry so sorry - I wish you were mine
Verse Three
And I hope that you look back
and that sometimes you smile
and I hope that when you look back
you want me again
Chorus
And I'm sorry, so sorry I can't change your mind
and I'm sorry so sorry - I wish you were mine
Verse Four
But if you came back would it be the same
Would we both try and apportion blame
would we tear ourselves apart again
could it be the same
Chorus
And I'm sorry, so sorry I can't change your mind
and I'm sorry so sorry - I wish you were mine
Verse Five
When I look back on what we had
and I think about my crime
It was that I had the best time I had
When you were mine
Chorus
And I'm sorry, so sorry I can't change your mind
and I'm sorry so sorry - I wish you were mine
I wish you were mine (repeated to fade)
