Sorry I Missed You
“Is anyone there?” I ask the dark
And the silence comes back and says: “nobody’s here.”
Mystery solved

I make a brew, and I stand at the door
And look to the clouds as they empty their hearts out
All over the floor

Some days are easy
But this night is hard
I just don’t know what to do with my hands

I wish that there were some way I could take it back

I could say “I’m sorry”, but you’d hurl it right back
And I wouldn’t blame ya – cos my heart is still black
But oh… I swear
I’m sorry – I miss you
I’m sorry – I miss you
I’m sorry – I miss you

I once stood at your door with a note in my hand
Knowing you’d read it and not understand
Because neither do I
I put the letter back
In the pocket of my coat
Well, I say “letter” – but it was more of a note
In case you’re listening I’ll read it to you

It says: “I’m sorry, and I take it all back”
But I couldn’t post it – ‘cos my heart was still black
But every day…
I’m so sorry I missed you
I’m so sorry I missed you
I’m so sorry I missed you
