Sorry, I Love You - Murray Head

Every time we quarrel, something deep inside

Tells me to hold on tight

We try to reach and hurt it and fight it with our minds

It feeds on our pain to survive

I love you — there ain’t nothing I can do about it

I love you — there ain’t no other way to explain it

What was once a surprise, what you’d always wanted

You now seem to despise

Now you have to try and break it, cos you can’t believe

It’s still alive

I love you — ooh, babe, I love you

And whatever we say, whatever we do

We will never replace what we once started

Every time we quarrel I try to run away

While the pride in me burns my eyes,

Blinded by confusion and a sudden loss of faith

There is still a faint voice in me cries

I love you — like a mountain that touches the sky

I love you — like a fire that refuses to die

Like a child with a candle you’d like to blow out

To be frightened once more by the dark

But then you get lost and you want to get back,

You find you need to kiss and shout…

I love you — ooh I love you

And whatever we say, whatever we do

We will never replace what we once started
