I'M SORRY
Chantelle Paige Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You ain't never felt pain like this
Why'd you do it?
Don't say sorry
No

So many nights on the road I'm alone
Sittin' and dialin your phone
Wonderin' why ain't I home?
Findin' that you're not alone
I'm hearin' rumors from all these familiar faces
They tellin' me you're cheatin'
Revealin' your secret places
Showin' me locations of all your private vacations
And showin' me the phone bill of all of your conversations
I paid for that cell phone
I signed for your car loan
I paid for your wardrobe
And purchased you a home

I never meant to hurt you
I'm so sorry I was untrue
You know that you're my baby
Come on baby
Say we're not through
(I hear her words that go in inside my head)
I'm sorry
(I've memorized every word that she's said)
So sorry
(I hear her words that go in inside my head)
I'm sorry
Come on baby
Don't say that we're through

I don't know what I was thinkin'
But now I'm sittin' here on my bed thinkin'
How I messed up cuz I would pretend
You were the only one inside my life
Now I've come to realize
That you don't know what you've got
Till it's gone is right
I'm just hopin' you change your mind
And you forgive me for
All of those times that I lied


(I hear her words that go in inside my head)
I'm sorry
(I've memorized every word that she's said)
So sorry
(I hear her words that go in inside my head)
I'm sorry
Come on baby
Don't say that we're through

(I hear her words that go in inside my head)
I'm sorry
(I've memorized every word that she's said)
So sorry
(I hear her words that go in inside my head)
I'm sorry
Come on baby
Don't say that we're through

You say you're sorry
But sorry ain't even the words to say
Cuz I'm just sorry
I ain't never make ya hurt this way
This pain I feel
Is somethin' I ain't never felt
It's somethin' real
Cuz I'm sittin' here all by myself
Now wide awake to pictures of our memories
And your apologies and letters that you sent to me
It's sad to say it
You're way more than a friend to me
But now we're nothing
So I guess it wasn't meant to be
So why'd you do it?
No excuses
What'd you do it for?
I want the truth and nothing but it
Please don't lie no more
I wanna hear your tears
I wanna feel your fears
I want my sweet revenge
Whenever your secrets end

I never meant to hurt you
I'm so sorry I was untrue
You know that you're my baby
Come on baby
Say we're not through
(I hear her words that go in inside my head)
I'm sorry
(I've memorized all the words that she's said)
So sorry
(I hear her words that go in inside my head)
I'm sorry
Come on baby
Don't say that we're through

I was untrue
It's so true
You found out just what I do
I needed to see him
To see how much I love you

(I hear her words that go in inside my head)
I'm sorry
(I've memorized all the words that she's said)
So sorry
(I hear her words that go in inside my head)
I'm sorry
Come on baby
Don't say that we're through





We're through.
