White Lilies and roses... tombstones and tears
Black suits and dresses... crying's all you hear
Down and down... another one's gone now
Down and down yet you have no tears
You knew who death was
You know they're gone now
There's no more room for apologies
There's no more making up for wasted time
For all the deaths I should've grieved
For all the love I should have given
This is an apology
I hope you'll accept it please
Lillies and roses, graveyards and grief
Clergy and coffins and crying faces
Was it innocence or apathy
Why weren't you moved by tragedy
For all the deaths I should've grieved
For all the love I should have given
This is an apology
I hope you'll accept it please
White Lilies and roses, tombstones and tears
Black suits and dresses, crying's all you hear
Locked away my repentance is now
Locked in time still is my sin
I don't know what to do
Got no clue what I ought to say
So if this was an apology
Maybe I could be at peace
For all the deaths I should've grieved
For all the love I should have given
This is an apology
I hope you'll accept it please
