Tired of Being Sorry
Enrique Iglesias Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You want to follow me tonight
When in the rest of the world
With whom I've crossed and I've quarreled
Let's me down so
For a thousand reasons that I know
To share forever the unrest
With all the demons I possess
Maybe you were right
But baby I was lonely
I don't want to fight
I'm tired of being sorry
Eighth and Ocean Drive
With all the vampires and their brides
We're all bloodless and blind
And longing for a life
Beyond the silver moon
Maybe you were right
But baby I was lonely
I don't want to fight
I'm tired of being sorry
I'm standing in the street
Crying out for you
No one sees me
But the silver moon
So far away
So outer space
I've trashed myself
I've lost my way
I've got to get to you, got to get to you
Maybe you were right
But baby I was lonely
I don't want to fight
I'm tired of being sorry
I'm standing in the street
Crying out for you
No one sees me
But the silver moon
Maybe you were right
But baby I was lonely
I don't want to fight
I'm tired of being sorry
I'm standing in the street
Crying out for you
No one sees me
But the silver moon
In Enrique Iglesias's song Tired Of Being Sorry, the lyrics convey the message of the singer's loneliness and his desperation to find someone to share his life with. The song starts with the singer being confused about why someone would follow him when he has quarreled and crossed everyone else he has met. He knows that he possesses many demons that only add fuel to this unrestful feeling. The use of the silver moon as a metaphor throughout the song represents the singer's emotional state, as he searches for someone to share his life with under the moonlight.
The chorus of the song, "Maybe you were right, but baby I was lonely. I don't want to fight; I'm tired of being sorry," reflects the singer's desire to reconcile with someone who has left him but is hesitant to fight as he is worn out from apologizing constantly. The second verse of the song sets the scene on Eighth and Ocean Drive, with all the vampires and their brides. The line "We're all bloodless and blind and longing for a life beyond the silver moon" illustrates that despite their lavish lifestyle, they still feel a sense of emptiness, just like the singer.
The last verse of the song shows the singer wandering the streets, reaching out for the person he longs for but is unable to find. He describes himself as lost, just like he is lost in the darkness of space. The line "No one sees me, but the silver moon" suggests that he feels invisible to the rest of the world but can only see his pain under the light of the moon.

I don't know why
I am unclear why you are following me tonight
You want to follow me tonight
You desire to follow me tonight
When in the rest of the world
Whilst in the remaining part of the world
With whom I've crossed and I've quarreled
With whom I've come across and had conflicts
Let's me down so
Lets me down with such frequency
For a thousand reasons that I know
For numerous reasons that I am aware of
To share forever the unrest
To forever share the restlessness
With all the demons I possess
Together with all the demons that I have within me
Beneath the silver moon
Under the shining silver moon
Maybe you were right
Perhaps you were correct
But baby I was lonely
However, I was feeling lonely
I don't want to fight
I do not desire to quarrel
I'm tired of being sorry
I'm exhausted of apologizing
Eighth and Ocean Drive
Eighth Street and Ocean Drive junction
With all the vampires and their brides
Amidst all the vampires and their brides
We're all bloodless and blind
Not one among us has color in our skin, nor can see
And longing for a life
And yearning for a life
Beyond the silver moon
Far from the bright silver moon
I'm standing in the street
I am standing on the road
Crying out for you
Screaming out for you
No one sees me
No one witnesses me
So far away
So distant
So outer space
As if in outer space
I've trashed myself
I have wrecked myself
I've lost my way
I am lost and do not know what to do
I've got to get to you, got to get to you
I must come to you, must come to you
Maybe you were right
Perhaps you were right
But baby I was lonely
However, I was feeling lonely
I don't want to fight
I do not desire to quarrel
I'm tired of being sorry
I'm exhausted of apologizing
I'm standing in the street
I am standing on the road
Crying out for you
Screaming out for you
No one sees me
No one witnesses me
But the silver moon
Except for the bright silver moon
