I'm sorry that I broke your heart
I'm sorry that I left
I'm sorry that the concert hall closed down
For all that we'll remember
And all that we'll forget
I'm sorry that it's over
I'm sorry that I left
I'm sorry for the news today
I'm sorry for the way
Your family can't seem to keep
The peace for the holiday
The darkness when the sun goes down
That's the ending of the day
When the dawn is breaking somewhere
Half a world away
I'm sorry for the people
Who think that they can kill
In the name of goodness
From some holy hill
Or those who fire rockets
As if it's not their will
From in front of a computer screen
Sitting still
So all of us are blameless
None of us meant ill
We're all dying
Over different names
For universal will
Everybody thinks god's on their side
When it's time for them to kill
On both sides of every wall
The righteous get their fill
I've always been the sorry one
And still I am today
And giving up apologies
Would mean changing my ways
I'm sorry no one changes
And I'm sorry I can't stay
I'm sorry that I'm sorry
Is all that I can say
