I'm So Sorry
Greenbrier Lane Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I guess it's time I should come out of my room
I erased last week's pages that said 143
I took off the necklace that you gave to me
But my heart beats for you and it's for no one else
I'm putting all this shit into perspective now
I must be moving on but I don't know how
Now I feel the way you felt when I would yell and scream
I should have realized I put those tears in your eyes and ruined all your dreams
I'm so sorry
Now that you tell me about another guy
I have got to admit that I am not surprised.
The stories that I hear tell me he's pretty sweet
The worst I see you hand in hand, walking the street
Maybe this fling of yours is just a test
Or maybe moving on is what would be best.
I don't know how I'll cope
But I won't give up hope.
(Chorus)
Now it's another lonely night
And I dream about her
Think of all the useless fights
And write songs about her.
(Chorus)
The lyrics of Greenbrier Lane's song "I'm So Sorry" express the emotions of heartbreak and regret after a relationship comes to an end. The singer is reflecting on the aftermath of a breakup and has reached a point where they realize their mistakes. The first two lines reveal that the singer has not heard from their ex-partner for three days, which shows a growing distance between them. The phrase "I guess it's time I should come out of my room" suggests that they have been isolating themselves, trying to process their emotions.
The next lines reveal that the singer has made some symbolic gestures, erasing the words "143" (which means "I love you") and taking off a necklace given to them by their ex-partner. These gestures show that the singer is trying to move on and let go of the past. The lines "But my heart beats for you and it's for no one else/ I'm putting all this shit into perspective now" show that the singer is struggling to reconcile their feelings, but is also trying to see things in a clearer light.
The song's chorus repeats the phrase "I'm so sorry", suggesting that the singer has come to terms with their mistakes and regrets. The second verse reveals that the singer has learned that their ex-partner has moved on with someone else. The line "The worst I see you hand in hand, walking the street" shows the singer's anguish at this realization. However, the last line of the verse "Maybe moving on is what would be best" reveals a sense of acceptance and a willingness to move forward.
