I'm sorry
Dominic J. Marshall Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I don't need a ride
Tell my mother that I'm leaving
I wish I said goodbye
Tell my sisters that I miss them
And I didn't mean to fight
Tell my friends that I'm still sorry
I just didn't have the time
That I always seem to fight
'Cause it's hard sometimes to say
I wanna cry
Try to talk to you
But there are some things that you won't wanna see me going through
Isn't it funny
Isn't it strange
How some things just never seem to change
And it really hurts me
How everyday
Some things just never go my way
I've been taking my time
Made it harder to find
What I'm hiding inside
Given up on myself
Helping everyone else
Put their needs before mine
Now I'm afraid to go home
'Cause I don't know what to say if they ask if I'm alright
I'm scared I'll stay alone
But I'll keep telling myself that I'm still breathing fine
I'm fine
Say I didn't mean it
Was just fed up being nice
Try to overcomplicate
In letters I don't write
Now, I'm sitting underneath the skylight
Thinking 'bout the things I wish I said and hope it's alright
Tell them I'm alright
Isn't it funny
Isn't it strange
How some things just never seem to change
And it really hurts me
How everyday
Some things just never go my way
I've been taking my time
Made it harder to find
What I'm hiding inside
Given up on myself
Helping everyone else
Put their needs before mine
And if they ask if I'm visiting
Can you just say I wasn't listening
'Cause I don't wanna harm no more
And if they ask if I'm gonna call,
Tell them I'm sorry and I love you all
But I don't wanna harm no more
I've been taking my time
Made it harder to find
What I'm hiding inside
Given up on myself
Helping everyone else
Put their needs before mine
Now I'm afraid to go home
'Cause I don't know what to say if they ask if I'm alright
I'm scared I'll stay alone
But I'll keep telling myself that I'm still breathing fine
I'm fine

Nevertheless, I will continue to reassure myself that I am doing alright
Say I didn't mean it

I was exhausted from being kind
Try to overcomplicate
Attempting to make it more complex than it needs to be
In letters I don't write
In messages that I do not compose
Now, I'm sitting underneath the skylight
At present, I am positioned under the skylight
Thinking 'bout the things I wish I said and hope it's alright
Reflecting on what I wish I had expressed and hoping it does not cause issues
Tell them I'm alright
Inform them that I am okay
And if they ask if I'm visiting
If they inquire about whether or not I am planning to visit
Can you just say I wasn't listening
Could you please tell them that I was not paying attention
'Cause I don't wanna harm no more
Because I want to avoid causing further damage
And if they ask if I'm gonna call,
If they inquire if I plan to call
Tell them I'm sorry and I love you all
Inform them that I apologize and love them all
But I don't wanna harm no more
However, I want to avoid causing any more harm
