Sorrows
Bryson Tiller Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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"
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.

I'm a boss and you see it, right?
I am a confident person and I hope you can see that
You took a loss and you see it, right?
You are losing out by not being in a relationship with me
We could stop, we could rewind
We could try to fix our relationship by revisiting the past
Would you call in the meantime?
Will you stay in touch with me while we figure things out?
(Ain't no problem, we'll be fine
We can work through our problems and be okay
Would you come with me tonight?
Will you spend time with me now?
All the stories we could rewrite
We can start fresh and make new memories together
That's a lie, what it seems like
Our current situation is not what it appears to be
You know you talkin' to me, right?
Don't forget you are still talking to me
You could tell me anything, right?
You can still confide in me
Yeah, you always got a green light
I will always be here for you and support you
Yeah, you always, always, always, always, always
I will always be here for you and always support you, no matter what
