I said I'd drive
Didn't feel like staring out the window on the passenger side
You knew I had to be there on time
And just to be a thorn in my side
You had to stop, get in line
And all the times I'd waited on you
Where I made the plans, packed the bags, cleaned the place
Were running through my mind
But if I dare speak up
If I bring things up
You'll say
It never happened that way (it never happened that way)
It never happened that way (it never happened that way)
When I felt brave to claim
This isn't working
It's not healthy for them to see us behave
Somehow you heard me declare
You're worthless
And once again I'm saying sorry for things I never said
But if I dare speak up
You'll say
It never happened that way (it never happened that way)
It never happened that way (it never happened that way)
Maybe I can find another way to articulate
Turn my words into a better phrase
So you will finally say
I'm sorry
That it happened that way
I'm sorry for the things we said
I'm sorry for the mess we've made
I'm sorry for their lives that we've left broken
I'm sorry for the things we said
I'm sorry for the mess we've made
I'm sorry for their lives that we've left broken
I'm sorry for the things we said
I'm sorry for the mess we've made
I'm sorry for their lives that we've left broken
But it happened that way
It happened that way
We ended that way
