Andrew Bird
I’m Sorry
[Verse 1]
Well I'm sorry I set your house on fire
I am a victim of my own desire
And I'm sorry I sent you that suicide letter
I was gonna die but then I felt better
And I'm sorry I shot you in the face
I got this feeling, I was way off base
And I'm sorry I killed you dear
I only wanted you to be near

[Chorus]
And I sincerely apologize
My actions were unwise
And now I realize that it killed me when you died

[Verse 2]
Well I'm sorry I hit you with that brick
At least your death was fairly quick
And I thought you'd take it on the chin
But it looks like rigamortis is setting in
And I hope you weren't in too much pain
I guess I'm criminally insane

[Chorus]
And I sincerely apologize
My actions were unwise
And now I realize that it killed me when you died
[Bridge]
Well I shouldn't have hidden you in the attic
I guess I got a flare for the dramatic
And I know your family is so bereaved
I just couldn't let you leave

And yes I made a big mistake
But my love for you was not fake
And I just had all I could taste
So I drowned you in the lake

[Outro]
And now they're calling for an autopsy
I just wanted you to notice me
You just wouldn't love me and this I can't forgive
My pride was stronger than your will to live
Your will to live
