Sorrows
Bryson Tiller Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah, oh yeah, ayy, yeah
Yeah (yeah), ayy-ayy, ayy, yeah
Yeah, yeah, ayy-ayy
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Yeah

When I'm lonely, baby
It's like my friends don't know me
Girl that used to be my homie (my homie)
Left me with a dream she sold me (dream she sold me, yeah)
Even the dreams get lonely
Left me here at three in the mornin'
Questionin' all the things you told me (told me)
Yeah, ayy, ayy

Baby, it got lost in the heat of the moment
Baby, if you mean it, show it
And if you ever need it or want it, I got you, you know this
And if you ever home alone and need a little company, I'll swing right over
Baby, I'll be right over
Invite me right over, over, over

I said I know we ain't on the same page no more
And that's a shame that we ain't, when we used to be so close
Yes, I'm down and I'm drownin' in my sorrows, babe (baby, yeah)
Yeah, yeah

You don't miss me, babe
Don't know why you're tryin' to convince me, babe
Know there's been somebody else since me, babe
Think I might do the same, don't tempt me, baby
Hit the party and get friendly
Honestly, no, I don't got it in me
It's no fun when you're not here with me
It's no wonder you're not here with me, yeah
Yet you tell me there's no way
Yes, you tell me there's no way, way, way (yeah, yeah)
She's like, "How you figure?"
Girl, I seen you around here with him
Trust me, I heard a lot about him
Tell me where you found him
He won't get around you, no, I won't allow it, no (nuh-uh)
Guess it's over now, if you think I don't know by now
Can we slow it down and sort it out now?

You got lost in the heat of the moment
Baby, if you mean it, show it
And if you ever need it or want it, I got you, you know this
And if you ever home alone and you need a little company, I'll swing right over
Baby, I'll be right, yeah

Seen what I said right?
Heard what I said right?
I'm a boss and you see it, right?
You took a loss and you see it, right?
We could stop, we could rewind
Would you call in the meantime?
(Ain't no problem, we'll be fine
Would you come with me tonight?
All the stories we could rewrite
That's a lie, what it seems like
You know you talkin' to me, right?
You could tell me anything, right?




Yeah, you always got a green light
Yeah, you always, always, always, always, always"

Overall Meaning

The song begins with Bryson Tiller expressing his feeling of loneliness, as even his friends don't seem to understand him. He talks about a girl who used to be his homie, she left him with a dream that she sold him. Her absence has left him questioning everything she ever told him. He reassures her that he'll be there for her if she ever needs him. However, he also talks about how he knows they're not on the same page anymore and how it's a shame since they used to be quite close. He acknowledges that he's been drowning in his sorrows, and she doesn't seem to miss him despite the fact that he's down.


In the second verse, Bryson refers to a recent relationship where the girl has been trying to convince him that he's the one she wants. However, he's aware that there's someone else in her life, and he's tempted to move on as well. He talks about how it's not fun without her around and that she needs to sort things out. Bryson once again reassures her that he'll be there for her if she needs a little company. He ends the song by saying that she always has a green light with him and that she can tell him anything.


Overall, Sorrows is a self-reflective song that talks about love melancholy and the difficulties in relationships.
