Apologise

He used to send her flowers
To apologise
To apologise
He used to say how sorry he was
And he'd flash his smile
He'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 apologise
To apologise

It wasn't that he meant her harm
I realise
I realise
It's just that life had taken him
By surprise
By surprise

At times he knew he'd failed her
At times he really tried
When times were worst, he did his best
To compromise
To compromise

I told her once he'd break her heart
But that wasn't true
That wasn't true
'Cause broken things can be repaired
And held onto
Held onto

But her heart had been shattered
The pieces lay inside
In fragments much too tiny
To recognise
To recognise

I look now at the weariness
That lies in his eyes
In his eyes
And who am I to lay the blame?
Or criticize?
Or criticize?

He's sorry that he's living
He's sorry he's alive
He's sorry of the need
To apologise
To apologise

He's sorry of the need
To apologise
To apologise
