about

This song is about an actual person who shall never be named, although one could think of it as being about Trump or, frankly, any loathsome male-identifying individual. In some ways, these are the best lyrics I've ever written: efficient, blunt, simple, clear. Inspired in part after hearing and meeting Stephin Merritt of The Magnetic Fields, Future Bible Heroes, etc.

lyrics

Sorry
I’m sorry you’re crazy
You weren’t all bad
You were just mostly bad
But when you were bad
You were truly awful

Sorry
I’m sorry you’re lazy
You sit in a room
And you drink and brood
You write in your room
Something truly awful

Sorry
My memory is hazy
What’s past is past
It wasn’t meant to last
So let go of the past
It was nothing personal

I saw the time it takes
To build something up and to burn the same thing down
I saw the bile it makes
When change is afoot, and to change things around

Well I’m sorry
I’ll hand you a daisy
You can have wine
Made from a dandelion
You can drink wine
In your private study

I saw the time it takes
To build something up and to burn the thing down
I saw the bile it makes
When change is afoot, and to change things around
When people you meet believe you’ve been crowned
When all you forsook then arise from the ground
When everything sings and is making a sound

Well I’m sorry
I’m sorry you’re crazy
It does make me sad
But you weren’t my dad
I feel a bit sad
But you weren’t my father
