I used to joke that every girlfriend I got, I got because I was in a band. And every girlfriend I lost, I lost because I was in a band. Turns out I was just a d***.
lyrics
v1:
sometimes the best cliches turn out to be true
you're put to the test and you fail, even though you knew what to do
and I've got 2 good eyes
but they failed to realize
ch:
so this is my apology for everything that went wrong
you must have known you'd get one
did you think it would take so damn long
I don't want to take the blame
but I'll take it just the same
this is my apology
v2:
sometimes the best laid plans just weren't meant to be
I took all the rest of your dreams and scattered them to sea
and I've got 2 good ears
but they failed when you were near
ch:
so this is my apology for everything that went wrong
you must have known you'd get one
did you think it would take so damn long
I don't want to take the blame
but I'll take it just the same
this is my apology
br:
goodnight, darling
another over & out
so long, sweetheart
you were warned a million times
oh, how I tried
I let you down
I let you down
ch:
so this is my apology for everything that went wrong
you must have known you'd get one
did you think it would take so damn long
I don't want to take the blame
but I'll take it just the same
this is my apology
this is my apology
this is my apology
