If I Apologized

My favorite track from Neil Gaiman and Dave McKean's MirrorMask .

    If I apologized
    It wouldn't make it all unhappen
    Wouldn't make the darkness go away
    
    If I apologized
    It wouldn't mean I was forgiven
    It wouldn't mean you wanted me to stay
    
        But it's a dream
        When you seem to be walking into the sun
        Where on first, hurry haste
        And we still don't know what we're doing
        So we don't say anything
    
    If I apologized
    I don't suppose you'd even notice
    Even though I'd whisper it inside
    
    If I apologized
    We could be the perfect couple
    Well we could but only in my mind
    
        But if you ask for the mask
        Then we're tumbling through the dark
        But beware it's too late
    
        And we only had to be asked
        So we don't say anything
        Couldn't hurt to trust
        Couldn't hurt too much to try
        Stumbling across
        Couldn't hurt too much to fly
