Black Plant
Last Shadow Puppets
The Age Of The Understatement (2008)

You bit your lip
And on the tip
Of your tongue
Was your view
You hadn't delt
With how you felt
In ways that suited you

The paper cuts
From the love letter
You never gave him
Could not meet
Your new found need
for misbehaving

Why
Why would you say sorry
Oh, why would you
Why would you say

You said there
Was a nagging lack of smiles
When dancing on your back
Tenderness a plenty, but
That wasn't what you craved
There's holes in hearts
Desire starts to make demands
And, dear boy, you'd be a fool
To make your plans with her

Why would you say sorry
Oh, why would you
Why would you say sorry
Oh, why would you say sorry
Oh, why would you

When it's just one
Of many bullets
You will bite
While waiting
For a ray of light
Waiting
For a ray of light
Waiting
For a ray of light

The paper cuts
From the love letter
You never gave him
Could not meet
Your new found meat
A misbehaving lie

Why
Why would you say sorry
Oh, why would you
Why would you say sorry
Oh, why would you say sorry
Oh, why would you
Why would you say sorry
