The bags were packed and the door behind you
Was locked and without a care
You loaded up the car and got comfy
And drove so far away
But as the years rolled by with very little contact
Those who chose to stay
Would wonder why you never came to visit
As all the memories fade
But you sat in your chair
Alone without regret
And the TV was all you ever really needed for company
So it comes to this in a wave form
And I don't mind, no, I don't mind
If it washed me away
The anger and the sadness that I'd wait for
As it's not alright, not alright
If it washes me away
So here we are now and far too much time has
Gone and passed away
The hope or need for reconciliation
Has gone and passed away
And if there could be one thing to learn
From all this cavalcade
Of far too many past transgressions
That always end in grey
And there's a hope of someday making peace but
Maybe not today
So you sat in your chair
Alone without regret
And the TV was all you ever really needed for company
So it comes to this in a wave form
And I don't mind, no I don't mind
If it washes me away
The anger and the sadness that I'd wait for
As it's not alright, not alright
That you don't give more
For crying out loud
For nearly 30 years of nothing
Tell me you're sorry
Tell me you're sorry out loud
'Cause though I may not wanna hear it
Just say you're sorry
Tell me you're sorry out loud
For nearly 30 years of nothing
Tell me you're sorry
Tell me you're sorry out loud
And don't think it comes with forgiveness
You did nothing
