Sorry
Gypsy & The Cat Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know you well, say you’re sorry
Don’t you have to be sorry for that
I know you well, say you’re sorry

I’m already a ghost of the past

All around the world, people joining in the game
Did you jump the gun, did you shift across the pain

You could say the word, baby tin that memory
But I sold my yesterdays, I sold my yesterdays to you
S-O-R-R-Y

I know you well, say you’re sorry
Don’t you have to be sorry for that
I know you well, say you’re sorry
I’m already a ghost of the past

Go through the storm, or dancing in the rain
Life will never find me looking doubty in the pain
Look after the Sun, there must be days left to be won
So leave my yesterdays, my yesterdays to you
S-O-R-R-Y

I know you well, say you’re sorry
Don’t you have to be sorry for that
I know you well, say you’re sorry
I’m already a ghost of the past

I know you well, say you’re sorry
Don’t you have to be sorry for that
I know you well, say you’re sorry
I’m already a ghost of the past

I know you well, say you’re sorry
Don’t you have to be sorry for that
I know you well, say you’re sorry
I’m already a ghost of the past
S-O-R-R-Y
S-O-R-R-Y

S-O-R-R-Y

I know you well, say you’re sorry
I’m already a ghost of the past

Overall Meaning

The song "Sorry" by Gypsy & The Cat expresses the complexity of forgiving someone who has wronged you. The lyrics tell a story of someone who knows the other person well and wants them to apologize, but at the same time, they feel like they have already moved on and become a ghost of the past. The repetition of "I know you well, say you're sorry" suggests that the person wants to hear the apology, but it may not provide closure.

The second verse implies that the pain caused by the other person may have been significant, but the singer has decided to sell their yesterdays and move forward with life. The line "Life will never find me looking doubty in the pain" suggests that the singer is strong and will not let the pain cause doubt or hesitation in their future. The chorus repeats, emphasizing that the singer wants an apology, but they have already left their past with the other person.

Overall, the song captures the complicated and sometimes conflicting emotions involved in forgiving and moving forward from a hurtful situation. The lyrics and melody blend together to create a melancholic yet hopeful sound, evoking the idea that moving on is difficult but ultimately necessary.

Line by Line Meaning

I know you well, say you’re sorry
I am familiar with you, express regret for your actions

Don’t you have to be sorry for that
Is an apology really necessary?

I’m already a ghost of the past
I have moved on and am no longer affected by what happened

All around the world, people joining in the game
People everywhere are playing along with the same charade

Did you jump the gun, did you shift across the pain
Did you act too soon and try to avoid the consequences

You could say the word, baby tin that memory
You have the ability to acknowledge your mistake, but choose not to

But I sold my yesterdays, I sold my yesterdays to you
I gave you my past, but now I want it back

Go through the storm, or dancing in the rain
Keep going through tough times, or enjoy the good times

Life will never find me looking doubty in the pain
I will never lose hope or give up during hard times

Look after the Sun, there must be days left to be won
Focus on the positives, there are still good things to come

So leave my yesterdays, my yesterdays to you
I am taking back my past and moving on without you

S-O-R-R-Y
