Sorry, Ginny! [Verse 1] Dear Ginny, Didn't think you'd hear from me, did you? Well, you opened up the letter, So now you're stuck with reading too. It should have been some stupid drama, A little noise, a little fight. I never thought the Order Would turn one spark into a fire that night. [Pre-Chorus] One thing pulled another, Then another life was gone. I can say I never meant it — Doesn't make what happened wrong. [Chorus] Sorry, Ginny, For the avalanche I helped begin. For every door that never opened, For every friend who won't walk in. Sorry, Ginny, I know those words don't fix a thing. The Order fell, but tell me honestly — What kind of victory does that bring? [Verse 2] I envied Mara. There. I finally wrote it down. She could drive me half insane Just by casually walking around. But I never wanted silence. Never wanted her chair bare. The Red Griffin's still standing, But somehow Mara isn't there. I do her work, I count the money, I tell myself the place is fine. But this old tavern knows I'm lying. It misses her as much as I. [Bridge] And you lost more than I can name. Lyra. Thorne. The Silver Leaf. So if you hate me, I won't blame you. I've got no clever line for grief. I only wish that stupid quarrel Had stayed as stupid as it seemed. Before the Order touched the pieces And turned them into something mean. [Final Chorus] Sorry, Ginny. That's all I've really got to say. You don't owe me your forgiveness. Not tomorrow. Not today. But if someday you want to see me, You know where the Griffin stands. I'll pour the drinks. You bring the sarcasm. We'll see where all of this one lands. [P.S.] P.S. — I baked the loaf myself. Yes. Me. Don't look so shocked. It says: “For Our Ginny.” Share it with the Greys. And if it's terrible... please lie. — Veronica
