[Verse 1]
Em D
For hearing all my doubts so selectively and
Em D
For continuing my numbing love endlessly.
Em D
For helping you and myself: not even considering
Em D
For beating myself up and over functioning.
Am Em
To whom do I owe the biggest apology?
Am Em
No one's been crueller than I've been to me.
[Verse 2]
Em D
For letting you decide if I indeed was desirable
Em D
For myself love being so embarrassingly conditional.
Em D
And for denying myself to somehow make us compatible
Em D
And for trying to fit a rectangle into a hole.
Am Em
To whom do I owe the biggest apology?
Am Em
No one's been crueller than I've been to me.
[Chorus]
C G7
I'm sorry to myself.
C G7
My apologies begin here before everybody else.
C G7
I'm sorry to myself.
C G7
For treating me worse than I would anybody else.
[Verse 3]
Em D
For blaming myself for your unhappiness
Em D
And for my impatience when I was perfect where I was.
Em D
Ignoring all the signs that I was not ready,
Em D
And expecting myself to be where you wanted me to be.
Am Em
To whom do I owe the biggest apology?
Am Em
No one's been crueller than I've been to me.
[Chorus]
C G7
I'm sorry to myself.
C G7
My apologies begin here before everybody else.
C G7
I'm sorry to myself.
C G7
For treating me worse than I would anybody else.
[Bridge]
Am Em
Well, I wonder which crime is the biggest ?
C D
Forgetting you or forgetting myself...
Am Em
Had I heeded the wisdom of the latter,
C D
I would've naturally loved the former.
[Verse 4]
Em D
For ignoring you: my highest voices.
Em D
For smiling when my strife was all too obvious.
Em D
For being so disassociated from my body,
Em D
And for not letting go when it would've been the kindest thing.
Am Em
To whom do I owe the biggest apology?
Am Em
No one's been crueller than I've been to me.
[Chorus]
And
C G7
I'm sorry to myself.
C G7
My apologies begin here before everybody else.
C G7
I'm sorry to myself.
C G7
For treating me worse than I would anybody else.
C G7
I'm sorry to myself.
C G7
My apologies begin here before everybody else.
C G7
I'm sorry to myself.
C G7
For treating me worse than I would anybody else.
