I Never Said I'm Sorry

(album: Pelago - 2021)

Roses and cigarettes
That season came and went
Do you remember when
We were unstoppable

Midnight on New Year's Eve
Kissed you out in the street
You smiled and said to me
Anything's possible

I know I haven't called since I walked out the door
And I hope I'm not twisting the knife anymore

I'm not trying to be sentimental
But baby, sometimes I remember
Those nights in our bed
And I know with the way that I left it, it's over
But I gotta say something I left unsaid
'Cause I said I love you
And I said forever
And I don't regret it
I meant every word
Then I left you crying
There in the driveway
And it don't mean much now, but for what it's worth
I never said I'm sorry
No, I never said I'm sorry, no
Felt like a perfect match
Like tattoos and denim jackets
Bittersweet looking back
But baby, we were cool

And I know it's messed up, way too indulgent
Maybe I thought that it was when it wasn't okay
To call you up and say

I'm not trying to be sentimental
But baby, sometimes I remember
Those nights in our bed
And I know with the way that I left it, it's over
But I gotta say something I left unsaid
'Cause I said I love you
And I said forever
And I don't regret it
I meant every word
Then I left you crying
There in the driveway
And it don't mean much now, but for what it's worth
I never said I'm sorry
No, I never said I'm sorry, no

I've got no expectation
Of getting you back
Just hoping that you understand

I'm not trying to be sentimental
But baby, sometimes I remember
Those nights in our bed
And I know with the way that I left it, it's over
But I gotta say something I left unsaid
'Cause I said I love you
And I said forever
And I don't regret it
I meant every word
Yeah, I left you crying
There in the driveway
And it don't mean much now, but for what it's worth
I never said I'm sorry
No, I never said I'm sorry
