LYRICS:
You’re only sorry
When you’ve been called out
And suddenly sane when I stand my ground
You have made such a mess
With no worry no thought
Here come the tears
Now that you’ve been caught
Afraid to confront you
When you’re so childlike
You pull no punches and I absorb them
Just when I’ve had enough
Just before I might crack
You make me smile and
I take all of those thoughts back
Something so fragile about you
It’s how you get away with what you do
It’s like, crash, boom, oops
Did I break that too?
And I almost believe you
And just when I’ve had enough
And I thought I might leave
Rather than hurt you
I let you hurt me
Something so fragile about you
It’s how you get away with what you do
It’s like you’re someone else
And when you come to
Your eyes well up
Oops did I break that too?
And I almost believe you
Something so fragile about you
It’s like I blacked out for a year and woke up with you
With a crash, boom, oops
Did I break that too?

Ben played this last night on tour and explained what motivated him to write it. I love those backstories.

It’s like he wrote this song for my ex

I've thought about dedicating this to my daughter, but I know she's too damn naive to understand the message. She is her mother's child, after all. 🙄
