[Verse 1]
Disappearing for weeks at a time
Always knocked on your door with no reply
Nobody told us, always left in the dark
I guess we're only kids, so we don't give a fuck, right?
No! You're wrong
I wondered where you were
I needed your advice, someone to comb my hair
I know you weren't okay, and I know you couldn't help it
[Pre-Chorus]
Confined to these plain rooms
I didn't realise I was missing you
[Chorus]
So don't say you're sorry for being somebody else
You don't need to be
So sorry for making me feel like you didn't love me
I understand that you couldn't be what I needed you to be
[Verse 2]
You needed your mother
Like I needed mine
And now that you're okay
I still need some time
This isn't going away
I wish it was all okay
And no, I don't blame you for this
[Pre-Chorus]
Confined to these plain rooms
I'm surprised you pulled through
[Chorus]
You're sorry for being somebody else
You don't need to be
So sorry for making me feel like you didn't love me
I understand that you couldn't be what I needed you to be
Don't feel like you deprived me from anything
I held this resentment
Now I'm trying to let go
[Chorus]
Don't say you're sorry for being somebody else
You don't need to be
So sorry for making me feel like you didn't love me
I understand that you couldn't be what I needed you to be
[Outro]
Consider this an open letter
From my heart to yours
Mine has been hurt for a little while now
I needed yours to be okay first
