darling bet on the horse who will win by a mile
and all of the while
i am absolutely dispossessed of the feelings i chased
in the formative ages
times i thought i'd gotten it right
but i'd gotten it wrong
should have known all along
that love means saying sorry
saying sorry all the time
i don't really want to say i'm sorry
say i'm sorry all the time
sarah draw me another giraffe i can show
all the people we know
my apartment walls are always cold and lifeless
like a hospital bed
here in my head it's always mental math
love means saying sorry
saying sorry all the time
i don't really want to say i'm sorry
say i'm sorry all the time
