DON’T TELL ME YOU’RE SORRY

Intro Don’t tell me you’re sorry. Tell me which boxes are yours.

Verse 1 You started crying in the kitchen Before I even said his name That’s when I knew the truth was worse Than anything you came to explain You said it only happened once Then twice slipped out somewhere between Funny how the truth gets bigger Every time you try to make it clean

Pre-Chorus Don’t give me details I got enough There’s some pictures A man can’t unsee once they’re up

Chorus Don’t tell me you’re sorry Tell me where you want your things Don’t tell me you love me Love don’t do what you did to me Save the tears for the highway Save forever for somebody new Don’t tell me you’re sorry There’s nothing left For sorry to do

Verse 2 Your mother called me Sunday morning Said marriage takes a little grace I told her grace don’t share a motel Then come home and kiss my face Your friends say everybody makes mistakes Maybe that’s what helps you sleep But a mistake is taking the wrong exit You made promises you meant to keep

Chorus Don’t tell me you’re sorry Tell me when you’re moving out Don’t swear it meant nothing That only makes it worse somehow If he was worth losing everything At least have guts enough to say it’s true Don’t tell me you’re sorry There’s nothing left For sorry to do

Bridge I would’ve forgiven broke I would’ve forgiven scared I would’ve forgiven almost anything Except knowing you were his Then coming home And pretending you were still mine Don’t tell me you’re sorry I believed enough from you Take the pictures Take the dresses Take the half of us that’s through And when that front door closes Don’t turn around like you used to do Don’t tell me you’re sorry Just go And make it true

Outro There’s nothing left For sorry to do.
