Sara Bareilles - Say You're Sorry lyrics

rate me

Circus of silence down at our feet

Paper cut tigers starting to bleed

Hang from your tightrope above the mess

Just say you're sorry, no more no less

Words you won't use, you don't feel them like I do

Show will be over soon

It's not the curtain closing causing us to call it a day

I want to walk away too

But I want you to say you are sorry

I'm not the one who went and made a mistake

I want to walk away too

But I want you to say you are sorry

I used to believe that the storybook's true

Now I don't need it, at least not with you

So if you see him, the man 'neath the mask

Tell him I'm leaving and not looking back

Words are no use, you don't need them like I do

Show will be over soon

It's not the curtain closing causing us to call it a day

I want to walk away too

But I want you to say you are sorry

I'm not the one who went and made a mistake

I want to walk away too

But I want you to say you're sorry

I want the one word that you refuse to say to me

You're so good at giving me responsibility

I wash my hands clean and let you watch me as I go

I'm sorry for you, just so you know

It's not the curtain closing causing us to call it a day

I want to walk away too

But I want you to say you are sorry

I'm not the one who went and made a mistake

I want to walk away too

But I want you to say you're sorry
