Apologies would do me no good now Friends are a luxery I cannot afford Do I try to help them? Or do I help them to help myself? Is my love the jail they call it? Or is it the bail they beg for? Though apologies would do me no good now I'm sorry I plucked the thorn from your hand And watched you writhe and shudder Cursing and screaming my name And now there's too much hate for me here Self hatred is enough to bear And though your wound no longer stings The hate remains It's everywhere Through apologies would do me no good now I'm sorry I'm sorry for trying to help But God's success is worth your scorn And though our hearts are worn and torn Friends are a luxery I cannot afford Because my methods of love Are too untoward And though they bring you safety now I'm sorry I'm sorry that I made this vow To keep you safe without my safety And though apologies will do me no good now I'm sorry I'm sorry anyhow
