lyrics

You don't have to be sorry for the water in your eyes
you don't have to be so kind to every thorn in your side
I don't have the power to keep your happiness from hiding
but still I try

You don't have to worry that you're not being the real thing
you don't have to be sorry for the way you've been feeling

Headlights pass and they leave shadows on your ceiling
but you don't have to be sorry
every heart needs some time and space for healing
but you don't have to be sorry for the way you've been feeling

Everything that happens has a reason
but we mostly don't see it
til it's changing seasons
everything that matters doesn't leave us
even through our tear ducts
time is teaching us

That you can always be sorry for singing something you don't mean
and when the ice is melting you pretend that you don't see it
I accept apologies as long as I believe them
but you don't have to be sorry for the way you've been feeling
