I couldn't believe what I was seeing 
Faces all screwed up like what I'd done 
I didn't mean to hurt you so much 
I knew it would hurt you but not like this 
We all make a mess from time to time dear 
But it'll take me a lifetime to get this cleared 
Somebody muttered something under their breath 
But I let on like I was a little deaf 

Nobody's perfect that's what I say 
No one has hurt me so much you say 
I'm sorry 

Running away seemed like the easy 
Thing to do because I wanted time 
To put a smile back on my dour face 
For once nothing's missing and I feel fine 
I was afraid to tell you some things 
But some things all find a way to get told 
Hearing it from the lips of somebody else 
Must have knocked the wind out of your sweet chest
