I'M SORRY
Colby Stead Lyrics

Your misery wants company,
You're feeling so low that you almost want others to feel just as miserable as you do.

But still you sit alone.
Despite feeling this way, you're still alone and unable to find comfort in the company of others.

In a castle of your history,
You're holding onto your past and building walls around yourself to protect yourself from being hurt again.

With walls made out of stone.
These walls are strong and not easily penetrable, which is making it hard for anyone to reach out to you.

You try to let go,
You're trying to move on from your past and let go of your pain, but it's proving to be difficult.

But this is all you know.
Despite trying, you're so accustomed to your pain and holding onto your past that it's difficult to imagine anything else.

Your solitude wants gratitude,
You're hoping that being alone will give you a sense of appreciation and gratitude for what you do have.

But grateful you are not.
Despite this hope, you're not feeling any more grateful, and in fact, you feel even more alone.

Wrestling with rectitude,
You're struggling with what is right and wrong, and how to move forward in a way that aligns with your values and morals.

And giving all you've got.
Despite this struggle, you're doing your best to navigate your way through it all.

You try to stay strong,
You're trying to be resilient in the face of adversity.

Even though your strength is gone.
Despite this effort, you're feeling drained and exhausted.

Jump in the river, swim in the storm,
You're urging yourself to take a risk, even if it means facing hardship or trouble.

See if the water, the water is warm.
You're curious to find out whether taking this risk will bring you any comfort or relief.

Let the tide take you, take you away.
You're ready to surrender to the unpredictability and unknowns of life.

See if I'm sorry are two words you'd say.
In doing so, you're hoping to find and express remorse for any wrongs you've committed in the past.

Your loneliness wants
You're feeling the physical and emotional ache that comes with isolation.

Tenderness careful in its care.
You're craving love, warmth, and kindness that is gentle and deliberate in its approach.

Breathing deep the emptiness
You're experiencing a deep sense of despair and hopelessness.

That is empty in the air
This feeling is pervasive and all-consuming, making it hard to escape.

You try to inhale,
Despite feeling like the air is thin and suffocating, you keep grasping for something that can alleviate your pain.

But your lungs and heart they fail.
Unfortunately, this breathlessness and heaviness is not something that can be easily remedied.

Your broken heart wants love
You're feeling deeply hurt and seeking comfort, specifically from love.

To start making you feel weak,
You're hoping that this love will be able to break down your walls and make you feel vulnerable.

But your lips won't come apart,
Despite this hope, you find it hard to express this desire for love and tenderness.

Forgiveness can not speak.
Similarly, you're feeling unable to forgive or be forgiven.

You try to admit,
Despite this difficulty, you're attempting to recognize and own up to your mistakes.

But your pride cannot do it.
However, you're hindered by your own sense of pride and ego.
