Public Apology
You know that I did the two of us a real big favour.
You with the world at your feet, when it used to be at mine,
Now that the hurt and the pain has all blown over.
And I promise you I never wanted to see it hang on you.
I can live with the pointing fingers,
I don't mind words and I don't mind names,
So I thought it through and saw what was best for all.
Long term picture was so much clearer for you.
I really didn't mean, I really didn't mean to hurt you, you know.
But I did, I don't deny, and that's the reason why I wrote this for you.
I had no room for the feelings that you showed towards me.
I think that they were misguided anyway.
If you knew how I felt inside I think,
you would maybe have run a mile,
'Cause I don't have time for you,
Only time for me, and my selfish dreams,
Never featuring you, just me, me, only me.
I really didn't mean, I really didn't mean to hurt you, you know.
But I did, I don't deny, and that's the reason why I wrote this for you,
My public apology, I'm so sorry.
My public apology, I'm so sorry, truly.
Disculpa Pública
Sabes que hice un gran favor para los dos.
Tú con el mundo a tus pies, cuando solía estar a los míos,
Ahora que el dolor y la pena han pasado.
Y te prometo que nunca quise verte sufrir por eso.
Puedo vivir con los dedos acusadores,
No me importan las palabras ni los nombres,
Así que lo pensé detenidamente y vi lo mejor para todos.
La imagen a largo plazo era mucho más clara para ti.
Realmente no quise, realmente no quise lastimarte, sabes.
Pero lo hice, no lo niego, y esa es la razón por la que escribí esto para ti.
No tenía espacio para los sentimientos que mostrabas hacia mí.
Creo que de todos modos estaban equivocados.
Si supieras cómo me sentía por dentro, creo,
quizás habrías huido a kilómetros,
Porque no tengo tiempo para ti,
Solo tiempo para mí y mis sueños egoístas,
Nunca incluyéndote a ti, solo yo, yo, solo yo.
Realmente no quise, realmente no quise lastimarte, sabes.
Pero lo hice, no lo niego, y esa es la razón por la que escribí esto para ti,
Mi disculpa pública, lo siento tanto.
Mi disculpa pública, lo siento mucho, de verdad.
