i couldn't believe what i was seeing
faces all screwed up like what i'd done
i didn't mean to hurt you so much
i knew it would hurt you but not like this
we all make a mess from time to time dear
but it'll take me a lifetime to get this cleared
somebody muttered something under their breath
but i let on like i was a little deaf
nobody's perfect that's what i say
no one has hurt me so much you say
i'm sorry
running away seemed like the easy
thing to do because i wanted time
to put a smile back on my dour face
for once nothing's missing and i feel fine
i was afraid to tell you some things
but some things all find a way to get told
hearing it from the lips of somebody else
must have knocked the wind out of your sweet chest
faces all screwed up like what i'd done
i didn't mean to hurt you so much
i knew it would hurt you but not like this
we all make a mess from time to time dear
but it'll take me a lifetime to get this cleared
somebody muttered something under their breath
but i let on like i was a little deaf
nobody's perfect that's what i say
no one has hurt me so much you say
i'm sorry
running away seemed like the easy
thing to do because i wanted time
to put a smile back on my dour face
for once nothing's missing and i feel fine
i was afraid to tell you some things
but some things all find a way to get told
hearing it from the lips of somebody else
must have knocked the wind out of your sweet chest

no one has hurt me so much you say
i'm sorry"
these lines say everything of this song! it's about apologizing and forgiving and making mistakes
I really really like this song because Gary's voice is so great and also the guitar in this song is soooo good!
:-)
go snow patrol!
love this song!
Every single bloody song.
Morbid, no?
Anyway, sounds like Gary hurt the girl. People/friends know. Now he's feeling extremely guilty as to how he hurt the girl and then attempted to hide his guilt.
That comment made me laugh, there is no proof he was cheating on the person in this song, and even if he was doesn't mean he makes a habit of it. I agree that he has written many songs that may imply cheating, but often several songs can be written from one situation displaying different aspects of it.
Or maybe he just made it all up.
Andyway it is a great song.
the guy in the song screwed up big time and he knows it, he knew he was doing it and he didnt care, the when the person found out he saw how much he had hurt them and feels shit about it!
