Lyrics
THIS HAPPENED, I’M SORRY
When will I learn, when will this all change?
When will these moments in the light turn to better days?
When will these things I’ve done not fill my heart with shame?
When will I get given a chance to live in love again?
Because it’s so hard I still feel so hurt
And I just wanna love you
The way I did before we did the things we had to do
And we spiralled in to war and all the pain that we’ve been through
I didn’t come here to take away anything that you’d got
Like you I was a clueless scratch-free soul on a conveyor belt wanting to be
Loved, just another newborn screaming soul
On a conveyor belt wanting to be loved
And it’s so hard I still feel so hurt
And I just wanna love you
The way I did in the crazy dream I had the other night
We were in a car driving somewhere when suddenly we realized
We weren’t the enemies we thought we were, we were on the same side
And we were hugging and crying and saying things we’d never say in real life
Yeah we were hugging and crying and saying things we’d never say in real life
When will I learn, when will this all change?
When will these moments in the light lead to better days?
When will these things I’ve done not fill my heart with shame?
When will I get given a chance to live in love again?
Because it’s so hard I still feel so hurt
and I just wanna love you
So I’m gonna ask for something I’ve never been brave enough to ask for before.
And It will be real and we can heal right here in this song
I’ll be so overflowing with my love if you can say these words,
Like magic it will change everything, I will be seen you will be heard -
This happened (this happened), I’m sorry (I’m sorry)
This happened (this happened), I’m sorry (I’m sorry)
This happened (this happened), I’m sorry (I’m sorry)
This happened (this happened), I’m sorry (I’m sorry)
This Happened (this happened) I’m sorry (I’m sorry), I’m sorry (I’m sorry)
I’m sorry (I’m sorry)….
Now I can love you again
Now I’m gonna hold you ’til the end
I’m gonna love you
The way I did before we did the things we had to do
And we spiralled in to war and all the hurt that we been through
Yeah I didn’t come here to take away anything that you’d got
Like you I was a clueless scratch-free soul on a conveyor belt wanting to be
Loved just another newborn screaming soul
On a conveyor belt wanting to be loved
Like you I was a clueless scratch-free soul on a conveyor belt wanting to be
Loved, just another newborn screaming soul
On a conveyor belt wanting to be loved
