To apologiseto apologise

He used to say how sorry he was

And flash his smilehe'd flash his smile

And always she'd forgive him

'cause he'd mean it for a while

And then he'd send her flowers

To apologiseto apologise



It wasn't that he meant her harm

I realiseI realise

It's just that life had taken him

By surpriseby surprise

At times he knew he'd failed her

At times he really tried

When times were worst he did his best

To compromiseto comprise



I told her once he'd break her heart

But that wasn't truewasn't true

'cause broken things can be repaired

And held ontoheld onto

But her heart had been shattered

The pieces lay inside

In fragments much to tiny

To recogniseto recognise



I look now at the weariness

That lies in his eyesin his eyes

And who an I to lay the blame

Or criticizeor criticize

He's sorry that he's living

He's sorry he's alive

He's sorry of the need

He's sorry of the need
