From the 1996 sessions · Reconstructed 2026 · A Bottle And A Suitcase

I never wanted to hurt you
I never wanted to hurt you
I never wanted to hurt you
And now you're gone
And I'm sitting on my own
God I hate it when I'm all alone

I guess I've done it to myself
Won't you call me
Won't you call me
And all the people passing by
I just can't seem to look them in the eye
And it's not the time to say
I'm in pieces
I'm in pieces

And I remember the things we used to run from
I remember the touch of your hand
The things that I say that messed up pretty badly
I won't try to understand

I never wanted to hurt you
I never wanted to hurt you
I never wanted to hurt you
But it's the way that I always seem to play
You know I can't believe it
I told you I always seem to lose it
Why am I a loser
Why am I a loser
And I remember the children in the darkness
I remember the moonlight and the sun
I remember

About this song.

Work
Original

An exposed apology that refuses to become a model apology. Remorse, self-pity, evasion and damage remain tangled together, and the song denies itself a neat resolution.
