R.E.M. - The Apologist Lyrics

they call me the apologist
and now that I�m at peak
you know at first it really hurt
we joke about these things
I�ve skirted all my differences
but now I�m facing up
I wanted to apologize for
everything I was....so
I�m sorry, so sorry...

did you understand me right?
the people here are good
they tell me what I shlould have done
and offer what I could
I�m good, all is good
all�s well, no complaints
when I feel regret,
I get down on my knees and pray
I�m sorry, so sorry...

I live a simple life
unfettered by complex sweets
you think this isn�t me?
don�t be weak
there I go
I�m so sorry

thank you for being there for me
thank you for listening, goodbye
I can forfeit selfishness
i hope for you that you apply
this happiness
this peacefullness
I�m sorry, so sorry

I live a simple life
unfettered by complex sweets
you think this isn�t me?
that�s so sweet
I�m so sorry.
