I know you didn't mean it

And you're sorry that i left

I'll go right on pretending

I've got nothing to regret

Except all of the time we

Wasted giving only second best

You always seemed to lose the spark

When i was only half undressed

I drove across a sea of

Flags to find my own command

The distance paid a lonesome

Price to see it's motherland

Now if you would unbuckle

Sir receive your reprimand

And hey i'm sorry about so much baby

But i know you'll understand

I'm sorry about so much baby

But i know you'll understand

How can i ever apologize

I meant you no such harm

I never knew i could possess

That fatal kind of charm

I just wanted to be good to you

But i found i was disarmed

By a lifetime of disillusionment

And the distraction of the stars

I abdicated

Now i'm just a prince without a land

My subjects all adored me

But for this i had them banned

Now could i trade my guilt

For a good flogging by your hand

And hey i'm sorry about so much baby

But i know you'll understand

I'm sorry about so much baby

But i know you'll understand

I can understand why you'd

Refuse my one request

Just to press against my weaponry

And then lay bare your chest

Challenges like these can be won

Or lost or laid to rest

Now we both agree to separate

From the lonely castle steps

The kingdom is destabilized

The watchtower unmanned

The bedroom lies abandoned

And the future is unplanned

But we've got the past

To remind us of love;

Chivalrous and grand

And hey i'm sorry about

So much baby

But i know you'll understand

I'm sorry about so much baby

But i know you'll understand
