Willy Porter — Everything But Sorry lyrics

Lyrics

I claim ownership of things that are not mine
I’m a thief, I’m a thief, I’m a thief, that’s right
I stumble in the darkness and I waltz the jagged line
I’m a drunk, I’m a drunk, I’m a drunk, that’s right
If I lie to you, and look you in the eye
Please don’t say you never did that to me
What a hypocrite you are sometimes
When you smile and point your finger at me
And say that I’m…
Everything, everything, everything, but sorry
Like a boulder, like a stone, like a freak who walks alone
Down the alleys and the backways
I’ve been bitchin', I’ve been poor, a savior and a whore
Depending on what you needed that day
I’ve been standard, I’ve been rare, I’ve had to bullshit unprepared
Had my heart overwhelmed with joy
I scraped my knees, and I was stung by bees
I swore were tryin' to nest in your hair
Oh girl now you’re…
Everything, everything, everything, but sorry
Yeah you’re everything, everything but sorry
And it makes me feel so sad
When I see the love we had
I would let it fade to black
Black
If this is our last call, why do I hear your voice through the wall?
I hear voices
Take away the laughter, take away the tears
Take away the caster in a way the candle smears
Across the back of my retina hmmmm…
I will remember you, I will remember you
Cause you’re everything, but sorry
Yeah you’re everything, everything but sorry
But sorry
I’m sorry
