Apologize

I'm sorry about the decorating
I'm sorry about the washing-up
I'm sorry about trying too hard
I'm sorry about giving up

I'm sorry, and you are too
But these things come so hard to you
I'm a mess-up, we know it's true
It's something we'll get used to

Surely there's something that
Makes it easier
Surely there's something that
Might occur to you

Why not apologise,
Even though you know you're right?
Why not say you're wrong?
It might help you sleep tonight
Sorry's not a dirty word
Sorry lets you tell yourself
You can let it pass for a bigger thing tomorrow

And if we force ourselves
We might dream of it
It hurts to face up, even a little bit
I think you see it now
Why not say it loud?

I wanna say something
None of us have heard before
I wanna say something
That makes you feel secure

Why not apologise,
Even though you know you're right?
Why not say you're wrong?
It might help you sleep tonight
Sorry's not a dirty word
Sorry lets you tell the world
You can let it pass, you can let it go

Surely there's something
That might make it easier
Surely that thing might
Just occur to you

Why not apologise,
Even though you know you're right?
Why not say you're wrong?
It might help you sleep tonight
Sorry's not a dirty word
Sorry lets you tell the world
You can let it pass for a bigger thing tomorrow

Why not apologise,
Even though you know you're right?
Why not say you're wrong?
It might let you sleep tonight
Sorry's not a dirty word
Sorry helps you tell the world
You can let it pass, you can let it go
