You bit your lip
And on the tip
Of your tongue
Was your view
He hadn't dealt
With how you felt
In 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 say
Why would you say

You said there
Was a nagging lack of smiles
When dancing on your back
Tenderness a plenty 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
