So Sorry
Five Cent Wish Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
As I looked out across the sky
Not a single reason
To stay with you came to mind
Forgetting is obligation
And with all my time i try
But i can never say goodbye
Im dying for a past with you
But im stuck in the present with this heartache
And only time can remedy the pain
Im so sorry
I dont know where
To begin or where to end
Why cant today just move on and go away?
Its sad i have to look you in the eye
And tell you we can never speak
We have to say goodbye
Id be better off without
So i'll keep my head held high
I'll just sit back and watch us die
Comtemplating is so frustrating
And it never gets anywhere
If you're "so low"
And im "so high"
Then why cant i just say goodbye?
The lyrics of Five Cent Wish's song 'So Sorry' narrate the conflicting emotions of an individual who is undergoing a painful break-up. The singer of the song is torn between two choices- to forget the past and move on without the person they loved, or to hold on to the memories and cherish them forever. The song begins with the singer looking at the sky, searching for a reason to stay with their partner, but unable to find any. They acknowledge that forgetting their love might be the right thing to do, but they can't bring themselves to say goodbye. The lyrics also suggest that the singer is trapped in the present and is struggling with the heartache that comes along with any tragedy.
As the song progresses, the singer reflects on the value of memories and wonders if holding on to them is worth the pain. They express remorse and apologize for their inability to make things work out, indicating that they feel guilty about the breakup. The singer then laments the fact that they have to say goodbye to someone that they once loved and now has to keep their head held high and move on. The song ends with a feeling of frustration, as the singer tries to understand why they can’t walk away even though they know it’s the right thing to do.
Overall, the song 'So Sorry' is a poignant expression of regret, nostalgia, and heartbreak that anyone who has been through a difficult breakup can easily relate to. The lyrics beautifully capture the excruciating pain of letting go and moving on while also acknowledging the struggle of holding on and remembering.
