Worthless Words - Tom Chaplin

The undercurrent is stronger today

This time it’s different, I’ll keep it at bay

Who am I kidding?

I dial the number anyway

I feel it for a moment, yeah, for a moment

I’m a pretender to a glorious throne

By 10.07 as I’m driving home

I’m flying high but completely on my own

I feel it for a moment

I’m sorry, so sorry

I’m sorry now, now, now

Gave my faithful heart

Over to rack and ruin

Cracked and crushed somewhere

Another star-crossed has been

Lost a world away

These worthless words I say

Like sorry

Three days later I’m fighting for breath

Death sees me look out over the edge

A soft sweet whisper says, «Careful where you tread»

I hear it for a moment

I’m sorry

I’m sorry now, now, now, now

So sorry
