I'M SORRY
Beecake Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You said you wanted more than I could bring
More than birds can sing
You said you needed Time to find yourself
But you found someone else
You said I was your one and only
You said with me that you'd never be alone
And I drank in every lie
I am sorry... I am sorry

So here I'm apologising
but one question keeps on rising

Why... why?
We've closed this chapter; leave the title till the end...
"your lost and naive friend"
We've built this tower. You built the steps of sand
You don't care where I land
You're holding someone elses hand
You said I was you're one and only
You said with me that you'd never be lonely
And I drank in every lie
I am sorry... I am sorry
Here im apologising

but one question keeps on rising.
Why... tell me why

Overall Meaning

In Beecake's song "I'm Sorry," the singer apologizes to his ex-partner for not being able to give her what she wanted in the relationship. He acknowledges that she wanted more than he could bring, more than what he could offer, and eventually found someone else after telling him that he was her one and only. The singer admits to believing every lie that she told him and feeling sorry for it now. Despite closing the chapter between them, the singer wonders why his ex-partner didn't care where he lands and why she was holding someone else's hand. He questions why she lied to him and how he ended up in this situation.

The lyrics in "I'm Sorry" reflect a painful breakup, but they also highlight the deceptive nature of relationships. It portrays how the promises and commitments made in relationships can be broken easily, leading to heartbreak and disappointment. The singer also suggests that relationships can be constructed on unstable foundations, such as the "steps of sand" his ex-partner built, which ultimately led to their demise. The chorus of "I'm Sorry" is a lamentation of the singer's regret for not being able to live up to his partner's expectations.
