Sorry (Live Version)

Thought I knew exactly what you were gonna do
Squared off across this table
Thought you?d make this easy for me
Turn away and end this, end my endless aching
But you just smiled, said ?hey baby I understand
But could you hold on for a minute.
?Cause I still love you and I think our time
I think our time might be coming soon?

Thought I saw something in your eyes tonight when I met them
You?ve got so little left it scares me
So I showed myself out, you always said to come back
So I did, but I was already locked out
And there?s nothing left for me to do
Light up on your front porch and tell myself
I?m sorry for what I gave to you

Gotta stop driving to your place
Gotta put you away
With each step forward I took two looks back
So I?ve stopped driving to your place
I?ve put you away,
There?s nothing you can say to get me back

This is just to say you?re all I know of this place
But I guess we?re only temporary
And I have no right, but I still tremble when I
Think about where it is you?ve been
So I?ll be the strong one and walk away for our sake
But I?d better not catch you looking back
This is it, the final chapter, your last chance
And you?ve chosen to give me away

Thought I saw something in your eyes last night when I met them
Your hollowness, it scared me
So, I?ve showed myself out, but you always said to come back
So I did, but I was already locked out
And there?s nothing left for me to do
Light up on my front porch and tell myself
I?m sorry for what I gave to you

Gotta stop driving to your place
Gotta put you away
With each step forward I took two looks back
So I?ve stopped driving to your place
I?ve put you away
There?s nothing you can say to get me back

Thought I knew exactly what you were gonna do
When I told you that I was leaving
But you?ve always found a way to pull me back
Well, no more, not this time around
Just do me one thing baby
When you wake up alone, when you wake up to find yourself hurting
When you realize you need my strength, my arms,
Well, please don?t call to tell me
I?ve got enough regret for both of us
Lay yours somewhere else when it comes

?Cause there?s nothing left for me to do
Light up in my car
And tell myself I?m sorry for what I gave to you
I?m sorry for what I gave to you
I?m sorry
I?m sorry
I?m sorry
