Children will Listen track 11:
Sorry-grateful

You're always sorry
You're always grateful
You're always wondering
What might have been
Then she walks in.
And still you're sorry
And still you're grateful
And still you wonder
And still you doubt
Then she goes on.

Everything's different
Nothing's changed
Only maybe slightly rearranged.
You're sorry-grateful, regretful-happy
Why look for answers where none occur?
You always are what you always were,
Which has nothing to do with
All to do with her.

You're always sorry
You're always grateful.
You hold her thinking,
"I'm not alone."
You're still alone.

You don't live for her,
You do live with her.
You're scared she's starting to drift away
And scared she'll stay.
Good things get better
Bad gets worse--
Wait, I think I meant that in reverse.
You're sorry-grateful, regretful-happy.
Why look for answers where none occur?
You'll always be what you always were,
Which has nothing to do with
All to do with her.

You're always sorry,
You're always grateful.
You hold her thinking,
"I'm not alone."
You're still alone.

You don't live for her,
You do live with her.
You're scared she's starting to drift away
And scared she'll stay.
Good things get better
Bad gets worse--
Wait, I think I meant that in reverse

You're sorry-grateful, regretful-happy.
Why look for answers where none occur?
You'll always be what you always were,
Which has nothing to do with
All to do with her.
You'll always be what you always were,
Which has nothing to do with
All to do with her.
Nothing to do with
All to do with her.
You're always sorry.
