Itâs cold here in the city
It always seems that way
And Iâve been thinking about you almost everyday
Thinking about the good times
Thinking about the rain
Thinking about how bad it feels alone again
Iâm sorry for the way things are in China
Iâm sorry things ainât what they used to be
But more than anything else
Iâm sorry for myself
âCause youâre not here with me
Our friends ask all about you
I say youâre doing fine
And I expect to hear from you almost anytime
But they all know Iâm crying
I canât sleep at night
They all know Iâm dying down deep inside
Iâm sorry fro all the lies I told you
Iâm sorry for the things I didnât say
But more than anything else
Iâm sorry for myself
I canât believe you went away
Iâm sorry if I took some things for granted
Iâm sorry for the chains I put on you
But more than anything else
Iâm sorry for myself
For living without you
