Lyrics

I?m Sorry
©2000 Will Wakefield

she said drive, drive, drive, let?s try to getaway
from all our memories left behind, from what we used to be
she said step on the pedal, step on that pedal, burn up that gas
and try to out distance all those events from our past

she said maybe next time, maybe next time, maybe next time you?ll love me...

she said it?s the feeling you get when you haven?t showered in days
I put on my mask, enter the crowd, and everyone?s pleased
and maybe I should tell myself I?m happy, I?m fine, that I?m really really good
and everything you did were things I should have understood

she said but I don?t care, I don?t care, I don?t care about you anymore...

Now I?m stumbling through my words, like I am falling downstairs
I have prostrated myself, while succumbing to fears
that you?re never coming home, that I?ll always be alone
that everything I ever had, was everything I never had

and I?m sorry, I?m sorry, I?m sorry, I?m sorry?

She said there?s nothing left to fix, nothing left to do, nothing left to work on
there?s no mountains to climb, no valleys to cross, no more stumbling through marathons
any words I could give you would all sound cliche,
You know I could never sum things up well, it just pours out this way
but I wish, but I wish, but I wish, but I wish there was something else to say...

Now I?m stumbling through my words, like I am falling downstairs
I have prostrated myself, while succumbing to fears
that you?re never coming home, that I?ll always be alone
that everything I ever had, was everything I never had

and I?m sorry, I?m sorry, I?m sorry, I?m sorry? oh baby I?m sorry

I said give me one chance, one last chance, give me time to state my defense
Can?t you see how much this hurts me, can?t you see, can?t you see that I am a mess
I?ve made mistakes, one mistake, but everyone makes mistakes
after all I have done, now I?m alone with just my heart left to break...

She said well that?s it exactly, don?t you hear yourself speak,
that you?ll always be alone, did you ever think about me,
I?m just as frightened as you, all my nightmares have come true
and everything I ever had, was everything that made me sad

and I?m sorry, I?m sorry, I?m sorry, I?m sorry?

I?m sorry, but not for you
She said I?m sorry baby, but not for you.
