Say You're Sorry
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.
Say you're sorry, won't you can't, say you're sorry
Say you're sorry
Circus of silence down at our feet
Paper cut tigers starting to bleed
Hang from your tightrope above all the mess
Just say you're sorry, no more no less
Words you won't use, you don't feel them like I do
Show will be over soon
It's not the curtain closing causing us to call it a day
I want to walk away too
But I want you to say you are sorry
I'm not the one who went and made a mistake
I want to walk away too
But I want you to say you are sorry
Say you are sorry (say)
Say you are sorry (say)
Say you are sorry (sorry)
I used to believe that the storybook's true
Now I don't need it, at least not with you
So if you see him, the man 'neath the mask
Tell him I'm leaving and not looking back
Words are no use, you don't need them like I do
Show will be over soon
It's not the curtain closing causing us to call it a day
I want to walk away too
But I want you to say you are sorry
I'm not the one who went and made a mistake
I want to walk away too
But I want you to say you're sorry
I want the one word that you refuse to say to me
You're so good at giving me responsibility
I wash my hands clean and let you watch me as I go
I'm sorry for you, just so you know
It's not the curtain closing causing us to call it a day
I want to walk away too
But I want you to say you are sorry
I'm not the one who went and made a mistake
I want to walk away too
But I want you to say you're sorry
Say you are sorry (say)
Say you are sorry (say)
Say you are sorry (sorry)
Say you are sorry (coming, coming)
say you are sorry, say you are sorry
Say you are sorry
