So I made a mistake
It was the wrong thing to
Say and if I could go back and
Change it, then I would

Yeah, I made a mistake
But I wanna set things straight
Before my song fades and I go away

But I need you to say
Hey, it's okay
You didn't mean it that way

And in a couple of days
It'll blow a way
I need you to say
Hey, it's okay

You didn't mean it that way
And in a couple of days

It'll blow away

But I let it go stale
And I regret that to this day

There must be something in the world
That I can say

So what do you say?
Can we try another day?
Or has all that we had
Gone to waste?

But I need you to say
Hey, it's okay
You didn't mean it that way

And in a couple of days
It'll blow a way
I need you to say
Hey, it's okay

You didn't mean it that way
And in a couple of days

It'll blow away

Baby, I can explain
I didn't mean you any pain
I just wanna put things back the way
They used to be

Baby, it's such a shame
But I take all blame
Just tell me one thing to change
And I will

But I need you to say
Hey, it's okay
You didn't mean it that way

And in a couple of days
It'll blow a way
I need you to say
Hey, it's okay

You didn't mean it that way
And in a couple of days

It'll blow away

But y'know we never put things right
We only put them away
Living in hiding from our mistakes

No, we never put things right
Oh, we only put them away
But I hope that some day
Someday, someday

You can say
Say, say

Hey, it's okay
You didn't mean it that way

And in a couple of days
It'll blow a way
I need you to say
Hey, it's okay

You didn't mean it that way
And in a couple of days

It'll blow away

But I need you to say
Hey, it's okay
You didn't mean it that way

And in a couple of days
It'll blow a way
I need you to say
Hey, it's okay

You didn't mean it that way
And in a couple of days

It'll blow away
