Never Say Sorry

You never have to say sorry... Not to me. The coffee’s cold, the light is grey We’ve run out of things to say I trace the lines upon your palm The center of a dying calm You look at me with those vacant eyes Where the ghost of us forever lies. You never have to say sorry, my dear For the silence or the hidden fear... BUT YOU NEVER HAD THE HEART TO STAY! YOU BURNED THE BRIDGE AND WALKED AWAY! NO APOLOGIES, NO REGRET A BITTER TASTE YOU CAN’T FORGET! NEVER SAY SORRY! NEVER LOOK BACK! LEAVE THE HEART ON A BROKEN TRACK! The echoes fade against the wall I’m still waiting for the rain to fall You were the poison, you were the cure I was the one who remained so pure Or maybe I’m the one to blame For dancing in your frozen flame. It’s a long way down... It’s a long way home... The ridge is high... THE RIDGE IS BURNING! YOU NEVER HAVE TO SAY SORRY AT ALL! WATCH THE CARDS AND THE EMPIRE FALL! NO APOLOGIES! NO TEARS TO SHED! BETTER OFF LIVING WITH THE GHOSTS INSTEAD! You never have to say sorry... ...because I’ve already forgotten your name.
