Sorry - Small Mercies

I’m sorry now that I let you go

You were the better part of me, I know

If only I could show

That baby, I love you

When the light illuminates the scene

I try to shake this heart of mine

From off my dirty sleeve

Call me a fool or maybe just naïve

As all I have to share this place

Is my own company

Yeah, give me the strength I can trust

Give me the will to ignite

I know what it’s like

I’m sorry now that I let you go

You were the better part of me, I know

If only I could show

That baby, I love you

You linger on like a melody

You gave me so much more than you received

If only I had seen

That baby, I love you now

Like a kite, I navigate the air

If only I’d flown higher then

If only I had dared

And who’s to say that life can be unfair?

And I deserved all that I got

It’s all that I can bare

Yeah, give me the strength I can trust

Give me the will to ignite

I know what it’s like

I’m sorry now that I let you go

You were the better part of me, I know

If only I could show

That baby, I love you

You linger on like a melody

You gave me so much more than you received

If only I had seen

That baby, I love you

Oh, can you see?

You belong with me

I will carry your hurt

It’s a burden I’ve earned

Yeah yeah yeah

I’m sorry now that I let you go

You were the better part of me, I know

If only I could show

That baby, I love you

You linger on like a melody

You gave me so much more than you received

If only I had seen

That baby, I love you

I’m sorry now that I let you go

You were the better part of me, I know

If only I could show

That baby, I love you

Baby, I love you

Baby, I love you now
