I Love You, I'm Sorry

Original Lyrics

ENGLISH ORIGINAL

Two Augusts ago

I told the truth, oh, but you didn't like it, you went home

You're in your Benz, I'm by the gate

Now you go alone

Charm all the people you train for, you mean well but aim low

And I'll make it known like I'm getting paid

That's just the way life goes

I like to slam doors closed

Trust me, I know it's always about me

I love you, I'm sorry

Two summers from now

We'll have been talking, but not all that often, we're cool now

I'll be on a boat, you're on a plane

Going somewhere, same

And I'll have a drink

Wistfully lean out my window and watch the sun set on the lake

I might not feel real, but it's okay, mm

'Cause that's just the way life goes

I push my luck, it shows

Thankful you don't send someone to kill me

I love you, I'm sorry

You were the best, but you were the worst

As sick as it sounds, I loved you first

I was a dick, it is what it is

A habit to kick, the age-old curse

I tend to laugh whenever I'm sad

I stare at the crash, it actually works

Making amends, this shit never ends

I'm wrong again, wrong again

The way life goes

Joyriding down our road

Lay on the horn to prove that it haunts me

I love you, I'm sorry

The way life goes

I wanna speak in code

Hope that I don't, won't make it about me

I love you, I'm sorry
