I Apologise

about

I wrote these lyrics a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away. Well, in Sheffield, if we're honest. It's a break-up song, really, but I have always had lots of headaches (squiffy eyes, innit) regardless of the girl in question, so I always liked the fact that I reference that in the first verse.

I like the couplet at the end too - you talk me down / you tire me out. Feels representative of young people's relationships, like they're great and helpful, but also exhausting.

lyrics

I apologise
For what you said I never did
But there's a pain in my head
That I just can't shift
I hypothesise
All the things I could've said
I'm trapped inside just one head
With all that we have left

You left me sitting with a stupid smile
And a stupid hope that you'd be back in a while
Well I'm, I'm still sitting
And I'm still waiting
You left me thinking that I knew the score
Left me thinking I was top of them all
But I'm, I'm still thinking
And I'm still waiting

This is a man
Who never wanted anything
He never wanted anything
This is a man
Who never wanted anything
He never wanted anything
Any more

You left me sitting with a stupid smile
And a stupid hope that you'd be back in a while
Well I'm, I'm still sitting
And I'm still waiting
You left me thinking that I knew the score
Left me thinking I was top of them all
But I'm, I'm still thinking
And I'm still waiting

You left me waiting for an idea to dawn
And you left me thinking I was top of them all
And you left me looking for a character flaw
And you left me feeling like a two-penny whore
And you left me pushing an invisible wall
And you left me fighting an impossible war
And you left me standing blaming you for it all
And you left me wishing that you'd never ever gone

But this is a man
Who never wanted anything
He never wanted anything
This is a man
Who never wanted anything
He never wanted anything
Any more
This is a man
Who never wanted anything
(You talk me down)
(You tire me out)
He never wanted anything
(You talk me down)
(You tire me out)
This is a man
Who never wanted anything
(You talk me down)
(You tire me out)
He never wanted anything
(You talk me down)
Any more
This is a man
Who never wanted anything
(You talk me down)
(You tire me out)
He never wanted anything
(You talk me down)
(You tire me out)
This is a man
Who never wanted anything
(You talk me down)
(You tire me out)
He never wanted anything
(You talk me down)
(You tire me out)
