Still Sorry
Alicia Witt Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
was there ever one who got away
and I been thinkin bout you since
wonderin all that might've been
if I wasn't so afraid
I got all these rules I never break
and I never told you how I felt
for the sake of someone else
and I let you slip away
if I could take back that time
if I could wake up and find myself back where I had a road to choose
I'd follow you
I should have made up my mind
I should have left him behind
instead of fighting
for something so wrong
now you're gone and I'm still sorry
lookin back I see you watchin me
tryin to figure out if I would leave
I stood there proud on sinkin sand
talkin bout my best laid plans
til you gave up on me
if I could take back that time
if I could wake up and find myself back where I had a road to choose
I'd follow you
I should have made up my mind
I should have left him behind
instead of fighting
for something so wrong
now you're gone and I'm still sorry
I'm still sorry
if I could take back that time
if I could wake up and find myself back where I had a road to choose
I'd follow you
I should have made up my mind
I should have left him behind
instead of fighting
for something so wrong
now you're gone and I'm still sorry
I'm still sorry
In Alicia Witt's song "Still Sorry," the lyrics depict a sense of regret and longing for a past love. The singer reflects on the question of whether there was someone who got away in their life. It becomes evident that the singer is indeed reminiscing about a specific person and wondering what could have been if they weren't so afraid to pursue their feelings.
The song highlights the internal struggle the singer faces between following their heart and abiding by their self-imposed rules. The singer admits to having feelings for this person but never expressed them due to the presence of someone else or for the sake of someone else. As a result, the person slipped away from the singer's life, leaving them with deep regret and a lingering apology that they are still carrying.
Looking back, the singer recognizes that the person they were longing for was watching them closely, waiting to see if they would leave their current situation for a chance at happiness together. But the singer, caught up in their own plans and beliefs, couldn't fully commit to making a decision. Eventually, the person gave up on them, leaving the singer with a profound sense of remorse.
Overall, "Still Sorry" delves into themes of missed opportunities, fear of taking chances, and the heavy burden of regret. It showcases the consequences of not fully embracing love when it presents itself and the lasting impact it can have on one's life.

someone asked me yesterday
Recently, someone posed a question to me
was there ever one who got away
If there was someone I let slip through my fingers
and I been thinkin bout you since
And I have been contemplating about you ever since
wonderin all that might've been
Pondering all the potential possibilities that could have occurred
if I wasn't so afraid
If fear hadn't held me back
I got all these rules I never break
I adhere strictly to a set of unbreakable rules
I tend to mean the things I never say
I often have unspoken intentions
and I never told you how I felt
I never expressed my true emotions to you
for the sake of someone else
Because I prioritized another person's interests
and I let you slip away
And I allowed you to escape my grasp
if I could take back that time
If only I could reverse the flow of time
if I could wake up and find myself back where I had a road to choose
If I could awaken and discover myself at that juncture where a decision had to be made
I'd follow you
I would unquestionably pursue you
I should have made up my mind
I should have decisively made a choice
I should have left him behind
I should have abandoned the person I was with
instead of fighting for something so wrong
Rather than persistently struggling for a relationship that was fundamentally flawed
now you're gone and I'm still sorry
Now that you have departed, I continue to regret
lookin back I see you watchin me
Reflecting upon the past, I realize you observing me
tryin to figure out if I would leave
Attempting to decipher whether I would abandon my situation
I stood there proud on sinkin sand
I arrogantly stood my ground on unstable ground
talkin bout my best laid plans
Speaking about my carefully crafted strategies
til you gave up on me
Until you finally gave up hope in me
I'm still sorry
I still deeply regret my actions
