I'm Sorry

by Red House Painters

on Take Me Home: A Tribute To John Denver (2000)

It's cold here in the city, it always seems that way
I've been thinking about you almost everyday
Thinking about the good times, thinking about the rain
Thinking about how bad it feels alone again

I'm sorry for the way things are in China
I'm sorry, things ain't what they used to be
More than anything else, I'm sorry for myself
'Cause you're not here with me

Our friends ask all about you, I say you're doing fine
And I expect to hear from you almost anytime
They all know, I'm crying, I can't sleep at night
They all know, I'm dying down deep inside

I'm sorry for all the lies I told you
I'm sorry for the things I didn't say
More than anything else, I'm sorry for myself
I can't believe you went away

I'm sorry if I took some things for granted
I'm sorry for the chains I put on you
More than anything else, I'm sorry for myself
For living without you
