it’s much too late to say i’m sorry

but i can’t stand for silence

i’m sorry for you

in knots in bows who knows what happened to you (WALK DOWN)
my mother wants me married
in a dress red white and blue
but i can’t stand for flowers
i’m sorry for you
my radio keeps quiet
my radio’s been blue
‘cause i can’t stand for riots
i’m sorry for you
every day in every way i’m so
tired tired tired
i don’t know how you manage to manage a smile
every day in every way i’m just
tied up twisted and tied
in knots in bows who knows what happened to you
there is a path that leads to darkness
it is a path you know it’s true
but i can’t stand for darkness
i’m sorry for you
it’s much too late to say i’m sorry
it’s much too late to say it’s true
but i can’t stand for silence
i’m sorry for you
no i can’t stand for silence
i’m sorry for you
