R.E.M.

R.E.M. was an American rock band from Athens, Georgia, formed in 1980 by singer Michael Stipe, guitarist Peter Buck, bassist Mike Mills and drummer Bill Berry. One of the first popular alternative rock bands, R.E.M. gained early attention due to Buck's ringing, arpeggiated guitar style and Stipe's unclear vocals.

They call me the apologist. 
And now that I'm at peak. 
You know at first it really hurt. 
We joke about these things. 
I've skirted all my differences 
But now I'm facing up. 
I wanted to apologize for 
Everything I was. so 
I'm sorry  so sorry

Did you understand me right? 
The people here are good. 
They tell me what I should have done 
And offer what I could. 
I'm good  all is good 
All's well  no complaints. 
When I feel regret, 
I get down on my knees and pray. 
I'm sorry, so sorry

I live a simple life 
Unfettered by complex sweets. 
You think this isn't me? 
Don't be weak. 
There I go. 
I'm so sorry. 

Thank you for being there for me. 
Thank you for listening, goodbye. 
I can forfeit selfishness 
I hope for you that you apply 
This happiness 
This peacefulness 
I'm sorry, so sorry

I live a simple life 
Unfettered by complex sweets. 
You think this isn't me? 
That's so sweet. 
I'm so sorry
