Sorry

 Sorry I didn't know what to say to you
Sorry I couldn't be there beside you
You cried when you heard the news

 Sorry I couldn't stay on the telephone
Sorry I didn't know you were all alone
You screamed when you heard the news

 And it goes on regardless
And it goes on just like before

 Hey you know the world can sometimes leave you down
It doesn't get much easier if there's nobody around

 Hey you know Billy Joe is doin' very well
Told me so a week ago but told me not to tell

 But it goes on regardless
And it goes on just like before

 Sorry I didn't know what to say to you
Sorry I couldn't be there beside you
You cried when you heard the news
