I'm Sorry I Love You

The Magnetic Fields · 69 Love Songs Pt. 3 [1999]

A single rose in your garden dwells

Like any rose it's not itself

It is my love in your garden grows

But let's pretend it's just a rose



Well, I'm sorry that I love you

It's a phase I'm going through

There is nothing that I can do

And I'm sorry that I love you



Do not listen to my song

Don't remember it, don't sing along

Let's pretend it's a work of art

Let's pretend it's not my heart



Well, I'm sorry that I love you

It's a phase I'm going through

There is nothing that I can do

And I'm sorry that I love you



The rose will fade when summer's gone

The song will fade and I'll be gone

Because my heart is dying too

And it's all the same to you



Well, I'm sorry that I love you

It's a phase I'm going through

There is nothing that I can do

And I'm sorry that I love you



Well, I'm sorry that I love you

It's a phase I'm going through

There is nothing that I can do
