01 / The words
Wildman / Marsden / Downing / Downing · Lyrics: Wildman
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

- 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.
