You look at me with all the regret in the world Swimming in your eyes I gulp it down But, you know, it all comes back with stinging sourness Did you believe me when I said that I didn't mean To raise your hopes and then disappear Or did you just smile because you believe You're past the point of safe return, anyway
[Chorus:] I never meant to make you sorry for loving me I never meant to make you sorry
You hardly pretend to notice I'm even there And I don't know if that's really right You push it aside But, you know, it only appears to go in deeper And is it true you believe what I said wasn't real That it was only a silly game That just seems easier to believe When you're past the point of safe return, anyway
[Chorus]
I'm so sorry you were hurt And I guess I can't say enough It's no fun when you feel burned But I guess it was hard for me to believe You should have tried harder to make me see Ah, hell, it got so hard for us to see Past the point of safe return, anyway
[Chorus to end]
You could have had it how you wanted But instead it tumbled down Could have made us into something But instead I made you sorry Could have let me hear it someday In the time that I was around But you wanted me to pretend Then I didn't want it anymore, anyway
