Sorry

[Verse 1]
There's no reason good enough that matters to you
I keep on not showing up, and that leaves you confused
We all like to think we're not so bad
But the truth is, I'm the worst you've ever had

[Pre-Chorus]
Pure intentions aren't so pure
When you're too old to be immature
Sorry means nothing if you do it again
We're the good guy, we like to pretend

[Chorus]
I'm so sorry, sorry that you caught me
So, so sorry, sorry that you found out
I'm so sorry, sorry that you caught me
So, so sorry, sorry that you found out

[Verse 2]
My mistakes keep adding up, and they all fall on you
I don't take the steps to change, and that leaves you abused
We all like to think we're not so bad
But the truth is I'm the worst you've ever had

[Pre-Chorus]
Pure intentions aren't so pure
When you're too old to be immature
Sorry means nothing if you do it again
We're the good guy, we like to pretend

[Chorus]
I'm so sorry, sorry that you caught me
So, so sorry, sorry that you found out
I'm so sorry, sorry that you caught me
So, so sorry, sorry that you found out

[Interlude]
The time has no come for the nation to turn a new page
A new page in Australia's history by righting the wrongs of the past
And so moving forward with confidence to the future
We apologise for the laws and policies of successive parliaments and governments

[Chorus]
I'm so sorry, sorry that you caught me
So, so sorry, sorry that you found out
We apologise for the removal of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children from their families and their country
I'm so sorry, sorry that you caught me
For their pain, suffering, and hurt of these Stolen Generations
So, so sorry, sorry that you found out
And for their families left behind, we say sorry
I'm so sorry, sorry that you caught me
To the mothers and the fathers
So, so sorry, sorry that you found out
The brothers and the sisters
For the breaking up of families and communities
I'm so sorry, sorry that you caught me
We say sorry
And for the indignity and degradation
So, so sorry, sorry that you found out
Thus, inflicted on a proud people and a proud culture
We say sorry
