verse
What I gotta do to make you want me?
What I gotta do to be heard?
What do I say when it's all over, babe?
Sorry seems to be the hardest word (that's right)
chorus
It's sad, so sad, it's a sad, sad situation
And it's getting more and more absurd
It's sad (so sad) so sad, why can't we talk it over?
That sorry seems to be the hardest word
chorus
It's sad (so sad), so sad (so sad), it's a sad, sad situation
And it's gotten more and more absurd
It's sad (so sad), so sad (so sad), why can't we talk it over?
Oh, it seems to me (yeah, yeah)
Sorry seems to be the hardest word (oh yeah)
