about

ABOUT THIS TRACK:

This Sorry Waltz is a blatantly honest and touching country waltz (with Ondra Kozák on fiddle) about heartbreak and knowing that there are things you can’t fix just by saying that you’re sorry. The title of the album was taken from this song: “All I ever really seem to say is sorry / But what does sorry really do to ease your pain?”

lyrics

LYRICS:

I promised you a waltz but I could not close the deal
Because words could not do justice just to how you made me feel
Now that I threw that all away these words keep ringing in my ear
You were the light of my life, my dearest dear

All I ever really seem to say is "sorry"
But what does "sorry" really do to ease your pain?
So take this waltz, and take my tears,
Walk away and find yourself a new dear
And if you ever need me, I'll be here
My dearest dear

Now if you happen to find your match who lights a fire in your soul
Rest assured she'll be inspected by the one who lost it all
And if she ever does you any harm, well, this I promise you
This sorry waltz will become a murder ballad too

I've been told I'm self-destructive, and if it's true, then it's a curse
Because there's always collateral damage and that only makes it worse
Cause how can I watch you suffer when I want to keep you near?
You kept me safe, but now it's time to save you, dear
