Sorry
Abra Moore Lyrics

If I could hold you
Expressing a deep longing to be near to someone.

You know I would
Affirming the desire to be near to someone, if possible.

If the whole world would
Expressing the wish for external circumstances to align with one's desires.

Just stop turning and be real still
Describing a utopian world where everything aligns perfectly to allow closeness to someone.

I said I'd meet you after midnight
Acknowledging a failure to keep a promise or obligation.

I know I never did return
Admitting to having failed to keep one's obligation or promise.

A lot of promises were broken
Admitting to the severity of failing to keep one's promises or obligations.

I never kept to my word
Expressing a sense of guilt or remorse about having failed to keep one's promises or obligations.

Crawling on my knees for you, for you
Using an exaggerated metaphor to describe the level of desire to be near to someone.

It feels like some Saturday cartoon, oh yeah
Using a playful metaphor to convey how strong the desire is to be near to someone.

If I could tell ya, yeah, the way that I feel
Expressing the difficulty of communicating deep emotions effectively.

Would you believe enough in magic
Using a mystical concept to suggest the difficulty of expressing how one feels.

And carnival wheels?
Using another mystical concept to further suggest the difficulty of expressing how one feels.

Life is never say you're sorry
Stating a piece of wisdom that one should never express regret or apologize for things that aren't their fault.

Love is never make mistakes
Stating another piece of wisdom that one should never make mistakes when it comes to love.

Life is telling me the answer
Suggesting that life itself holds the answers to one's deepest questions.

If I can't believe the rain
Using a metaphor to convey the difficulty of accepting the truth or reality of a situation.

I meant to tell you I'm sorry
Expressing the desire to apologize for previous mistakes.

For all the hurt and senseless pain
Expressing regret for causing pain or distress, especially if it was unwarranted.

I need to tell you I'm sorry
Repeating the desire to apologize for past mistakes.

For all the love we never got to make
Expressing regret for missed opportunities to connect with someone on a deeper level.

Calling me back
Using an ambiguous phrase to describe a feeling of being drawn towards something or someone.

To the room on the hill
Using a specific location to add a sense of place and context to the previous phrase.

Say that the lie
Beginning a sentence in a way that suggests the completion of an unfinished thought.

Can't be right
Concluding the previous phrase by implying that something is incorrect or false.

For everything that we've been through
Reflecting on the past experiences shared with someone, especially the difficult or painful ones.

For all the love I never gave back to you
Expressing regret for not being able to reciprocate the love that was given or shown by someone else.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry
Repeatedly stating apologies for previous mistakes or missed opportunities for love and connection.
