I'm sorry
Aria Ohlsson Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I′ve said I'm sorry a million times
To many wrongs don′t make a right
I know
You know

If I'm being honest with myself
Sometimes I feel like somebody else
Sometimes I gotta be by myself

I still need you

I know sorry doesn't make a difference
Know that I can be inconsiderate
Trying to work on my flaws
Not perfect at all
Want you to know

I know sorry doesn′t make a difference
Know that I can be inconsiderate
Tryna work on my flaws
Not perfect at all
Want you to know

What would it take to change your mind
Take my mistakes and press rewind
The world was crumbling and I went blind
Still tryna figure out this life

I′m just feeling ways
I'm acting up
Wish things were the same
I′ve had enough
Maybe it's too late to say sorry now

I know sorry doesn′t make a difference
Know that I can be inconsiderate
Tryna work on my flaws
Not perfect at all
Want you to know

I wish sorry could make a difference
Wish that I was less inconsiderate
I'm not perfect at all
Tryna work on my flaws
Want you to know

Look at all the time we wasted
Spent so much time contemplating
Don′t wanna complicate it
I know you hate it

I know sorry doesn't make a difference
Know that I can be inconsiderate
Tryna work on my flaws
Not perfect at all
Want you to know

I wish sorry could make a difference
Wish that I was less inconsiderate
I'm not perfect at all

Tryna work on my flaws
Want you to know
