You said, "I'm sorry for the pretty things"
You really thought you meant them
You regret all of the pain it brings
What I'd give to forget, again
You couldn't call me on the telephone
Or look me in the eye
You're the saddest song I've ever known
You don't even have to try
But you're not on your own
You're not the one who sleeps alone
You'll never reap what you have sewn in my backyard
If we're being honest, tell me dear
How did you make your selection?
'Cause I've never seen somebody disappear
Quite so fast in the other direction
You really talked a gorgeous game
But couldn't stick around to play it
You can tell them all that I'm insane
If it makes you feel better to say it
But you're not on your own
You're not the one who sleeps alone
You'll never reap what you have sewn in my backyard
You're sorry that you were not there
You're sorry 'cause you just got scared
But sorry doesn't make it fair to my poor heart
