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
