James & The Shame Sorry
I never set out to do
Something to disappoint you
Approval was sorta my thing
Took your book and made it mine
Never colored outside the lines
And made my own peace with the king
But then the integrity
You'd poured deep inside of me
Started to burn a hole in my heart
I grabbed on that scarlet thread
And pulled 'til there was nothing left
And then my whole world fell apart
You did nothing wrong
And I did nothing wrong
So why do I feel like I need to say sorry in a song
I know you cry for me
And my eternal destiny
And I wish that I could put you at ease
But that old undying truth
Says that I won't join you
Because I could not hold to the creed
I'm not trying to change your mind
And I don't think you're gonna change mine
So we'll keep dancing to different tunes
Paul said that right from the start
I'd reject it in my heart
But I know you still feel I rejected you
But you did nothing wrong
And I did nothing wrong
So why do I feel like I need to say sorry in a song
Why do I feel like I need to say sorry in a song
