I want to move to Brooklyn
And write a thousand words a day
I wanna live around the corner
From a bookstore cafe
Pretend I’m Patti Smith
Romanticizing all of it
Be somebody that I’m not
Or maybe
Somebody that I’ve always been

I get caught up in my head
It makes me insensitive
I probably should be alone
But I’m not letting you go

I’m sorry that I use you, sorry I confuse you
I’m sorry that I only show up when I’m scared to lose you
I’m sorry that I want you, but don’t choose you
“I’m sorry” don’t mean what it used to
I’m sorry I’m conceited
Sorry that I only trust, you love me when I’m needed
Sorry that I want you, but don’t choose you
“I’m sorry” don’t mean what it used to
“I’m sorry” don’t mean what it used to
“I’m sorry” don’t mean what it used to

How long can we hold on to something
We’re gonna let go of?
Does nothing help
If we’re hurting each other by being ourselves?
I keep you so selfishly
What good’s an apology
Knowing nothing’s gonna change?
I still want you to stay

I’m sorry that I use you, sorry I confuse you
I’m sorry that I only show up when I’m scared to lose you
I’m sorry that I want you, but don’t choose you
“I’m sorry” don’t mean what it used to
Sorry
I’m sorry I’m conceited
Sorry that I only trust, you love me when I’m needed
Sorry that I want you, but don’t choose you
“I’m sorry” don’t mean what it used to
“I’m sorry” don’t mean what it used to
“I’m sorry” don’t mean what it used to

Sorry don’t mean, mean
What it used to, used to, used, used to
“I’m sorry” don’t mean, mean
