I'm sorry about the decorating   I'm sorry about the washing-up   I'm sorry about trying too hard   I'm sorry about giving up      I'm sorry, and you are too   But these things come so hard to you   I'm a mess-up, we know it's true   It's something we'll get used to      Surely there's something that    Makes it easier   Surely there's something that    Might occur to you      Why not apologise,    Even though you know you're right?   Why not say you're wrong?   It might help you sleep tonight   Sorry's not a dirty word   Sorry lets you tell yourself   You can let it pass for a bigger thing tomorrow      And if we force ourselves   We might dream of it   It hurts to face up, even a little bit   I think you see it now   Why not say it loud?      I wanna say something   None of us have heard before   I wanna say something   That makes you feel secure      Why not apologise,    Even though you know you're right?   Why not say you're wrong?   It might help you sleep tonight   Sorry's not a dirty word   Sorry lets you tell the world   You can let it pass, you can let it go      Surely there's something   That might make it easier   Surely that thing might   Just occur to you      Why not apologise,    Even though you know you're right?   Why not say you're wrong?   It might help you sleep tonight   Sorry's not a dirty word   Sorry lets you tell the world   You can let it pass for a bigger thing tomorrow      Why not apologise,    Even though you know you're right?   Why not say you're wrong?   It might let you sleep tonight   Sorry's not a dirty word   Sorry helps you tell the world   You can let it pass, you can let it go
