I'm Sorry

You waited there out in the rain
You held my jacket in your hand with my favorite smile
And I drove by, no, I couldn't stop
I caught your eye and then you knew I had given up

And if you call me up tonight
I will only say I'm sorry
And if you call me up tonight
I will only say I never meant to hurt you in this way

I lie awake with my eyes glued to the ceiling
and every desperate intention seems to hover overhead
I see you there with your head hung low
yeah, you're standing in my mind like you're etched in stone

And after all the bridges have collapsed
After all the miles you will one day put behind
You will see everything I meant
You will see I could never give you what you need
Well, maybe I am meant for this
lying in the bed alone
Maybe I am meant to suffer once you're gone
