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 out 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.
