If I Apologised

If I apologised

it wouldn't make it all unhappen

wouldn't make the darkness go away

If I apologised

it wouldn't mean I was forgiven

wouldn't mean you wanted me to stay

But

it's a dream

when you seem

to be walking into the sun

we're on first

unrehearsed

and we still don't know what we've done

so we don't say anything.

If I apologised

I don't suppose you'd even notice

even though I'd whisper it inside

If I apologised

we could be the perfect couple

Well we could, but only in my mind

but

if you ask

for the mask

then we're stumbling on through the dark

But we wait

it's too late

And we only had to be asked

so we don't say anything.

It couldn't hurt to try it

It couldn't hurt too much to try

It's there beyond the quiet

it couldn't hurt too much to fly...
