Say You're Sorry Lyrics

Say you're sorry
Won't you please
Say you're sorry
Say you're sorry

Circus of silence down at our feet
Paper cut tigers starting to bleed
Hang from your tight rope
Above your mess
Just say you're sorry
No more no less

Words you won't use
You don't feel them like I do
Show will be over soon

It's not the curtain closing causing us to call it a day
I want to walk away too, but I want you to say you are sorry
I'm not the one who went and made a mistake
I want to walk away too, but I want you to say you are sorry
Say you're sorry
Say you're sorry

I used to believe that your story book's true
And now I don't need it, at least not with you
So if you see him, the man with the mask
Tell him I'm leaving
I'm not looking back

Words are no use
You don't need them like I do
Show will be over soon

It's not the curtain closing causing us to call it a day
I want to walk away too, but I want you to say you are sorry
I'm not the one who went and made a mistake
I want to walk away too, but I want you to say you're sorry

I want the one word that you refuse to say to me
You're so good
Giving me responsibility
I wash my hands clean
And let you watch me as I go
And I'm sorry for you, just so you know

It's not the curtain closing causing us to call it a day
I want to walk away too
But I want you to say you're sorry
I'm not the one who went and made a mistake
I want to walk away too
But I want you to say you're sorry

Say you're sorry
Say you're sorry

Cool song! I think this one is pretty self explanatory. She wants an apology.

one correction to lyrics:

Hang from your tight rope ABOVE THE mess (not verbal. lol)

Ok, probably a dumb question, but could somebody please explain these lines?
