Sorry For Writing All The Songs About You
Clara Mae Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can't help myself I put it down on paper
All the different stages, memories of us
That's the only way I know that I can shake it
Writing all our pages, every single thought

I know you don't like when I'm nostalgic
No you've never tried to understand
Say you're doing fine, don't think about it
Like I do

Sorry for writing all the songs about you
I know that you hate that I got more to say
Sorry for writing all the songs about you
But I had to, oh, I had to
Swear no one will know that every moment was true
All the mistakes and why you ran away
Sorry for writing all the songs about you
But I had to, oh, I had to

I can't wait for you to recognize the stories
Like when you said you loved me or that time on the rooftop
Will you act as if you haven't even heard it
Nothing of it really matters

'Cause I know you don't like when I'm nostalgic
Go back to the start to get an end
Say you're doing fine, don't think about it
Like I do

Sorry for writing all the songs about you
I know that you hate that I got more to say
Sorry for writing all the songs about you
But I had to, oh, I had to
Swear no one will know that every moment was true
All the mistakes and why you ran away
Sorry for writing all the songs about you
But I had to, oh, I had to

Just to get over what we lost, what we lost
I put it in words to clear my thoughts
And just to get over, over us
I had to, I had to

Sorry for writing all the songs about you
I know that you hate that I got more to say
Sorry for writing all the songs about you
But I had to, oh, I had to
Swear no one will know that every moment was true
All the mistakes and why you ran away




Sorry for writing all the songs about you
But I had to, oh, I had to

@saicojin

Because society has taught us to not be emotionally attached and that selling yourself for cheap is okay. So songs like these as good as it is doesn’t sell. Thanks new world for teaching the children to degrade themselves and feel it’s okay.

“寫了關於你的歌,有點冒昧,不好意思”
Just need to say whoever translate the sentence did such a great job that it touched my heart, made my bones shiver and had my eyes well up. Not to mention it's in traditional Chinese. I love the song and appreciate the effort that they put into this mv <3

@user-lw7dm4bd6k

I'm not sure with translations in all other different languages, but they are all supposed to mean "Sorry for writing all the song about you". As for the Chinese one, I can only say that Chinese is a complicated language. The translation has a warmth and a depth that doesn't make you feel like you read it from Google Translator but from a heart broken girl who still remember everything from the relationship which already ended.

"Excuse me for writing songs about you, hope it doesn't bother you."

@davidnguyen6823

Thought the same! I love the Japanese, Vietnamese, German and Swedish one

@user-rr7wd9gu4c

oh my gosh i know right! it just adds this little something and i'm so happy to see chinese and english in the same video, and they both sound so natural and it doesn't look forced... i don't know how to explain it, i just love that bit so much!!
