Public Apology Songtext

von Budapest

You know that I did the two of us a real big favour.
You with the world at your feet, when it used to be at mine,
Now that the hurt and the pain has all blown over.
And I promise you I never wanted to see it hang on you.

I can live with the pointing fingers,
I don't mind words and I don't mind names,
So I thought it through and saw what was best for all.
Long term picture was so much clearer for you.

I really didn't mean, I really didn't mean to hurt you, you know.
But I did, I don't deny, and that's the reason why I wrote this for you.

I had no room for the feelings that you showed towards me.
I think that they were misguided anyway.

If you knew how I felt inside I think,
You would maybe have run a mile,
