The Apologist lyrics

They call me the apologist

Now that I'm at peak

You know at first it really hurt

We joke about these things

I've skirted all my differences

But now I'm facin' up

I wanted to apologize for

Everything I was, so

I'm sorry

So sorry

So sorry

So sorry

I'm so sorry

I'm so sorry

I'm so sorry

Did you understand me right?

The people here are good

They tell me what I should have done

And offer what I could

I'm good, all is good

All's well, no complaints

When I feel regret

I get down on my knees and pray

I'm sorry

(So sorry)

So sorry

(So sorry)

So sorry

(So sorry)

So sorry

(So sorry)

I'm so sorry

(So sorry)

I'm so sorry

(So sorry)

(So sorry)

I'm so sorry

I'm so sorry

I live a simple life

Unfettered by complex sweets

(So sorry)

You think this isn't me?

(So sorry)

Don't be weak

(So sorry)

There I go

(So sorry)

I'm so sorry

Thank you for bein' there for me

Thank you for listening, goodbye

I can forfeit selfishness

I hope for you that you apply

This happiness, this peacefulness

This peacefulness

I'm sorry

(So sorry)

So sorry

(So sorry)

So sorry

(So sorry)

So sorry

(So sorry)

I'm so sorry

(So sorry)

I'm so sorry

(So sorry)

I live

(So sorry)

A simple life

(So sorry)

Unfettered

(So sorry)

By complex sweets

(So sorry)

You think this isn't me?

(So sorry)

That's so sweet

(So sorry, so sorry)

I'm so sorry

Thank you for being there for me

Thank you for listening, goodbye
