Black Plant

You bit your lip
And on the tip
Of your tongue
Was your view
He hadn´t dealt
With how you felt
With ways
That suited you
Got paper cuts
From the love letters
You never gave him
Could not meet
Your new found needs
For misbehaving
Why
Why would you say sorry
Oh, why would you
Why would you say
You said there
Was a nagging lack of smiles
When dancing on your back
Tenderness aplenty but
That wasn?t what you craved
There?s holes in hearts
Desire starts to make demands
And dear boy
You?d be a fool
To make your plans with her
Why would you say sorry
Oh, why would you
Why would you say sorry
Oh, why would you say sorry
Oh, why would you
When it's just one
Of many bullets
You will bite
While waiting
For a ray of light
Waiting
For a ray of light
Waiting
For a ray of light
Got paper cuts
From the love letters
You never gave him
Could not meet
Your new found needs
For misbehaving
Why
Why would you say sorry
Oh, why would you
Why would you say sorry
Oh, why would you say sorry
Oh, why would you
Why would you say sorry
