It's 10 o'clock somewhere and the fighting's just beginning
A life that moves in circles, no one there is winning
Beaten senseless by the words that fail to cut again
They hurt too much the first time, do you remember when?
Trapped inside this living, broken by the fear
I think I really hate you, but I love you my dear
And huddled in the corner is an aching little child
Maybe she looks older, but inside she's gone wild
What makes a person scream so much, angry and unwell?
Taking out on others, their comfort zone is hell

So don't tell me that you're sorry
Don't tell me that you care
Don't tell me that you cried so much
Your mind is full of wear
The painful words that linger
The heartache that I am
Don't tell me that you're sorry
Cos I don't give a damn

And the tears she let fall never seemed to mean much
From the pain you inflicted without even a touch
The loneliness she felt, the happiness she lost
Your selfish pride didn't come without a painful cost
Blind to the victim, blind to the pain
Blind to everything but your anger and the rain
Never thought the bitterness of anguished times would last
But as it turns out, your baby girl grew up too fast
You knew it from the moment she stepped outside the door
Too much remained unsaid, you don't know her anymore

So don't tell me that you're sorry
Don't tell me that you care
Don't tell me that you cried so much
Your mind is full of wear
The painful words that linger
The heartache that I am
Don't tell me that you're sorry
Cos I don't give a damn

Do you regret it now, the nights you kept awake?
Have you realized now, how tragic your mistake?
Can you come to terms with the ruins you've created?
Don't forgive me now, if I sound a bit too jaded
Cos I don't want your sympathy, I don't want your lies
I don't want your hugs or your sad, tearful goodbyes
It's too late now for darkness to be light
Too much scarring has occurred for it to be all right
You were supposed to be security, instead you became dread
And you set me on this rocky path I think I'll always tread

So don't tell me that you're sorry
Don't tell me that you care
Don't tell me that you cried so much
Your mind is full of wear
The painful words that linger
The heartache that I am
Don't tell me that you're sorry
Cos I don't give a damn
