Lyrics:

(Buck/Mills/Stipe)







They call me the apologist

And now that I'm at peak

You know at first it really hurt

We joke about these things

I've skirted all my diferences

But now I'm facing up

I wanted to apologize for

Everything I was. So



I'm sorry, so sorry

So sorry

So sorry

So sorry

So sorry

So sorry



Did you understand me right?

The people here are good

They tell me what I should have done

And offer what I could

I'm good, all is good

All's well, no complaints

When I fell regret,

I get down on my knees and pray



I'm sorry (so sorry), so sorry (so sorry)

So sorry (so sorry)

So sorry (so sorry)

So sorry (so sorry)

So sorry (so sorry)

So sorry (so sorry)

So sorry



I live a simple life

Unfettered by complex sweets (so sorry)

You think this isn't me? (so sorry)

Don't be weak (so sorry)

There I go (so sorry)

I'm so sorry



Thank you for being there for me

Thank you for listening, goodbye

I can forfeit selfishness

I hope for you that you apply

This happiness

This peacefulness

This peacefulness



I'm sorry (so sorry), so sorry (so sorry)

So sorry (so sorry)

So sorry (so sorry)

So sorry (so sorry)

So sorry (so sorry)

So sorry (so sorry)



I live (so sorry) a simple life (so sorry)

Unfettered (so sorry) by complex sweets (so sorry)

You think this isn't me? (so sorry)

That's so sweet (so sorry, so sorry)

I'm so sorry



Thank you for being there for me

Thank you for listening, goodbye
