VERSE1:
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
BRIDGE:
Am Em
To whom do I owe the biggest apology?
Am Em
No one's been crueler than I've been to me
VERSE2:
For letting you decide if I indeed was desirable
For my self-love being so embarassingly conditional
for denying myself to somehow make us compatible
for trying to fit a rectangle into a hole
BRIDGE:
To whom do I owe the biggest apology?
No one's been crueler than I've been to me
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
VERSE3:
For blaming myself for your unhappiness
for my impatience when I was perfect where I was
Ignoring all the signs that I was not ready,
For expecting myself to be where you wanted me to be
BRIDGE:
To whom do I owe the first apology?
No one's been crueler than I've been to me And
Chorus:
I'm sorry to myself
My apologies begin here before everybody else
I'm sorry to myself
For treating me worse than I would anybody else
INTERLUDE:
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
VERSE4:
For ignoring you: my highest voices
For smiling when my strife was all too obvious
For being so disassociated from my body,
for not letting go when it would've been the kindest thing.
BRIDGE:
To whom do I owe the biggest apology?
No one's been crueler than I've been to me
Chorus:
I'm sorry to myself
My apologies begin here before everybody else
I'm sorry to myself
For treating me worse than I would anybody else
I'm sorry to myself
My apologies begin here before everybody else
I'm sorry to myself
For treating me worse than I would anybody else
