Night with its shattered teeth attempts to speak 
My pen is present but courage left via the sink 
And I`m sorry I snuck up on you from behind 
Sorry not all my love letters did rhyme 
And I`m sorry that Jesus died for my sins 
And I swear to God it won`t happen again 
And I`m sorry if it was my swerve that tempted you to sway 
Oh well, sometimes it be that way 
And Romeo was a very nice man 
He said, "Jewel, I don`t think you quite understand" 
And I`m sorry if you had to explain it like this 
Sorry I was a point you were destined to miss 
And I`m sorry I spoke to you irreverently 
Down in the hollow by the old olive tree 
And I`m sorry if my heart breaking ruined your day
Oh well, sometimes it be that way 

CHORUS
I said, "Oh well, I got nothing left to sell" 
This love was a bell that rang unheard in the air 
I was bound to find out that you didn`t care 
Oh well, sometimes it be that way 

And Aphrodite with her neon lamp 
Kissed Neptune, they put her face on a stamp 
And I`m sorry I used it to mail a letter to you 
Sorry I`m glue and the rest bounces off of you 
And I`m sorry not even this jet`s metal wings 
Could get across these simple things 
And I`m sorry if I ever sang your name in vain 
Oh well, sometimes it be that way 

CHORUS

Now flame licks the air with its silver tongue 
Night has many hands but I have just one 
And I`m sorry I walked in on you unexpectedly 
I`m sorry I never served you chamomile tea 
And I`m sorry I didn`t always have a match 
That could start a fire big enough for your heart to catch 
And I`m sorry if it was my heart breaking that ruined your day
Oh well, sometimes it be that way 
Oh well, sometimes it be that way
