Sorry/Grateful

You're always sorry
You're always grateful
You're always wondering what might have been
Then she walks in

And still you're sorry
And still you're grateful
And still you wonder
And still you doubt
And she goes out

Everything's different
Nothing's changed
Only maybe slightly rearranged

You're sorry-grateful
Regretful-happy
Why look for answers
Where none occur?

You always are
What you always were
Which has nothing to do with
All to do with her

You're always sorry
You're always grateful
You hold her thinking
I'm not alone
You're still alone

You don't live for her
You do live with her
You're scared she's starting
To drift away
And scared she'll stay

Good things get better
Bad get worse
Wait, I think I meant that in reverse

You're sorry-grateful
Regretful-happy
Why look for answers
Where none occur

You'll always be
What you always were
Which has nothing to do with
All to do with her
Nothing to do with
All to do with her

And that's Sondheim again... He masterfully crafted this song "Sorry/Grateful" for his show "Company"... It's truly amazing how much humanity the man can put into one song... It perfectly captures a relationships fears, doubts, love and disdain, don't you think?

I watched the special features of the Company DVD of the 2006 Broadway Revival Cast and fell more in love with Sondheim... I hope I can someday shake that man's hand and thank him for his words and music!

With Love,
Tyrel
