Sorry
Justin Guarini Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah..
Just listen

All this time it's been on my mind
But I never said it
Went along like I did no wrong
But now I regret it
Should of probably listened more
Held your hand and opened doors
I've been taking you for granted
But I swear I never meant it

Wanted many times to appologize
But it often went unsaid
Got to figure out
How to tell you now
What's been goin through my head

Sorry
Not an easy word to say
But I'm worried
If I don't you'll walk away
And there's just no way
That I can live
Unless I know that you'll forgive
Sorry
Baby, i'm so, so
Sorry

Girl, i'm hopin' it's not too late
I'll cross my fingers
'Cause now i'm bout to change my ways
Starting with this one word
S...promise i'm gonna stay around
O...No more hangin out
R...Let's reunite
R...I'll make it right
Y...'Cause I need you in my life

Sorry
Not an easy word to say
But I'm worried
If I don't you'll walk away
And there's just no way
That I can live
Unless I know that you'll forgive
Sorry
Baby, i'm so,(so) so, (so)

Sorry for the times I didn't realize
That holdin back my feelings
Brought tears to your eyes
Sorry for the times I didn't understand
A simple word
That you deserve
Could make me a better man

Sorry
Not an easy word to say
(Not an easy word to say)
But I'm worried
If I don't you'll walk away
(Don't walk away)
And there's just no way
That I can live
(I can't live)
Unless I know that you'll forgive
(Just one word)
Sorry
Now baby, i'm so, so

Baby baby baby please
Sorry
(For all the times I made you cry)
Not an easy word to say
(For all the times I told you lies)
But i'm worried
(All the times I wasn't there)
If I don't you'll walk away
(For all these things)
And there's just no way that I can live
(I can't live)
Unless I know that you'll forgive
(Unless I know you'll forgive)
Sorry
baby I'm so, so
Sorry
(Sorry)
Not an easy word to say
(yeah.........)
But i'm worried
If I don't you'll walk away
(Yeah, hey yeah)
And there's just no way that I can live
(Just no way that I can live)
Unless I know that you'll forgive
(Please forgive me)
Sorry




Baby I'm so, so
Sorry
