I'm Sorry

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
