Lyrics
Sorry Doesn't Help
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Sorries pour out of you
All wide-eyed simple smiles
Certain to see you through
Like a QC full of fake humility
You say:
"Oh, please forgive"
You say:
"Oh, live and let live"
But sorry doesn't help us
And sorry will not save us
And sorry will not bring
My teen years back to me
(any time soon)
Forced back, it springs right out
Seasoned, you have no doubts
You lied about the lies that you told
Which is the full extent of
What being you is all about
You say:
"Oh, please forgive"
You say:
"Oh, live and let live"
But sorry doesn't help us
Sorry will not save us
Sorry will not bring
My love into my arms
(as far as I know)
Sorry doesn't help us
Sorry will not save us
Sorry is just a word you find so easy to say
So you say it anyway
Sorry doesn't help us
Sorry won't protect us
Sorry won't undo all the good gone wrong
