'I Could Be Sorry'

Song story and background information

'I Could Be Sorry' is a reflective pop song, continuing the sense of emotional loss hinted at in 'End OF An Era', but dealing in the specifics which caused the end of a relationship. The lyrics are an imagined coversation with an ex partner, almost dissecting the reasons behind a break-up, while maintaining an underlying sense of melodrama to heighten the impact of the song.

Features on the album 'Thoughts Of Doubt'.

Lyrics
Talking, forever talking
I'd hear you, but I was ignoring

I didn't know and that's a shame, I was too caught up in my own games
We'd change our ways - I've worked out how - but you wouldn't listen to me now

Well now I've got to go away, we will never meet again
So if you ever see the day, that will justify the hate
There will be no happy end, just a letter left to send
There's nothing I cannot defend except this heart I'll never mend

Sorry, I could be sorry
I don't need a lifetime of worry

I didn't care and that's a fact, it was all just one big selfish act
If I had cared I'd be with you, so there's one thing left for me to do

Before our daylight fades away there's just one thing left to say
Through all this darkness in my life, in this confusion there's a light
This desolation's left me blind although you've opened up my eyes
So you will never hear me leave - I'll just walk out and let you grieve

Well I've got things I wish to do and my future plans don't involve you
When everything's been said and done you've got better things waiting to come

So I have got to go away without a hope I'll ever stay
And if you never smile again it will help me through the pain
So I'm calling to you now from beneath this thunder cloud
And you'll never stop the pain just as I can't stop the rain
If that's not good enough for you there's not a lot that you can do
