Lyrics

Sorry Instead

[Verse 1]

In the summer of '16, I lost my mind

You thought it was a bad thing, I thought it was fine

And when we talked about it, I started to cry

You said, "Boy, what's the problem?" I told you that I wanted to die

[Pre-Chorus]

Ah-oh-oh

Oh, oh

Wanted to tell you more, but I get the feeling you don't care

[Chorus]

When you pulled up in the driveway, I'll admit

Never knew what was on your mind, but it was clear

Stay with me, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

Could've pled my case, but I said sorry instead

Sorry instead

[Verse 2]

Looking around like I could give a fuck, I'm thinking of you

I got a feeling something's changed and I'm waiting to see if it's true

[Pre-Chorus]

Ah-oh-oh

Oh, oh

Wanted to tell you more but I get the picture, so fuck you

[Chorus]

Whеn you pulled up in the driveway, I'll admit

Nеver knew what was on your mind, but it was clear

Stay with me, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

Could've pled my case, but I said sorry instead

[Bridge]

A number I don't know keeps calling

Staring at the bedside glowing

I'm dreaming of a winter drive, and

Wake up when the wheels start sliding

The chances of it working falling

Everyone around me knows it

It's everything that I have dreamed about

I'm gonna see myself out, oh

[Chorus]

When you pulled up in the driveway, I'll admit

Never knew what was on your mind, but it was clear

Stay with me, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

Could've pled my case, but I said sorry instead

[Outro]

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
