I'M SORRY
Bobby Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A long time ago, I was the manager of this place.
It started to go downhill, I didn't know what to do
Was harder and harder to sell, so I took it out on you.
I'm sorry. So sorry.
I thought we were on track, But the DM's on my back
The economy went downhill, We didn't know what to do
Was harder and harder to sell, so I took it out on you.
Lookout, I'm gonna bite your head off
Watchout, I'm gonna rip a new hole
I'm pissed so better run away
better run away before I, before I catch you.
I'm sorry... x3
The holidays came and they went, the DM saw what we spent
He said we were doing it wrong, but he knew all along
Our relationship went downhill, I didn't know what to do
Was harder and harder to sell, so I tok it out on you.
Lookout, I'm gonna bite your head off
Watchout, I'm gonna rip a new hole
I'm pissed so better run away
Better run away before I, before I catch you
Lookout, I'm gonna bite your head off
Watchout, I'm gonna rip a new hole
I'm pissed so better run away
Better run away before I, before I catch you
Lookout, I'm gonna bite your head off
Watchout, I'm gonna rip a new hole
I'm pissed so better run away
Better run away before I, before I catch you
Before I catch you... Before I catch you...
The song "I'm Sorry" by Bobby is a heartfelt apology for taking out the manager's frustrations on the person he cares about. The song is a tale of a former manager named Chase who takes the blame for his failed business out on his partner, the one he loves. He sings about how he thought they were on track, but things started to go downhill and he couldn't figure out how to fix it. Bobby narrates how Chase's actions continued to harm their relationship, even as he knew things were not working in their business. It’s a song that acknowledges a man accepting his wrong actions and is pleading for forgiveness from someone close to him. The song showcases Bobby's ability to craft music that is personal, touching and relatable to listeners.
The upbeat but melancholic feel of the song perfectly complements the theme of the song. The opening lines, "Hey, everybody. My name is Chase. A long time ago, I was the manager of this place" set the stage for a reflective tone throughout the song. The chorus of the song, "I'm sorry, so sorry" is a recurring motif that emphasizes the regret and remorse that Chase is feeling. The bridge is a high-energy section where Bobby sings about the anger Chase feels, and how he can't control it. The song ends with the same tone it began with, serving as a reminder of the emotional weight on Chase and his longing for forgiveness.
