Just to say we're sorry


For the black eyes and bleeding lips

When it's hard to forget


How many lies we told




Or how we'd grow


Before I said goodbye


So let's scrape our knees

On the playground





It's not your fault

You feel okay


It's too late in the day


It's not your fault

You feel betrayed


And can't come now to play




I never listened to a word


You never said


I never listened to a word

You never said





Wasting the hours now

We're all suckers for tragedies


And start this over again


And you bring us to our knees




As sunrise comes


And the story will sell

A few hundred papers


So we'll follow you up




It's not your fault


You feel okay


It's too late in the day

It's not your fault


You feel betrayed


And can't come out to play



I never listened to a word


You never said

I never listened to a word


You never said



So raise your hands up high


And let this rain pour on

So raise your hands up high


And wash us away



Like innocence and childbirth


You look just like your mother

And you look just like your father



Forgive him, our father


Your son is smiling

So lay roses around you
