So Sorry
Last Day Before Holiday Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If I can read into your mind
If I can see behind your closed eyes
I'm sure that I will find all the lies
That you said to me for all your life

And now I'm

So tired to listen every excuse now
It's time to prove that this is true
I'm still here but I can't wait
Another longer year

(Another longer year)

So we tried to fix our whole life
To reach this dream and now
Day by day we'll grow up
And everything is falling down
So we tried to fix our whole life
To reach this dream and now
Making mistakes it's alright
But you can't pretend that you're fine

You can't pretend that everything it's right
We can talk togheter all night long
But I can't do everything on my own

And now I'm

So tired to listen every excuse now
It's time to prove that this is true
I'm still here but I can't wait
Another longer year

(Another longer year)

So we tried to fix our whole life
To reach this dream and now
Day by day we'll grow up
And everything is falling down
So we tried to fix our whole life
To reach this dream and now




Making mistakes it's alright
But you can't pretend that you're fine

A boss sound in the Bay Area on Jumpin' George KSAN and Bouncing Bill KWBR. They don' make them like that anymore. The group is from Detroit and they were on Bandstand a few times. That was their best sound. I went to Jeff in Daly City CA and lived on the Coast in SHARP PARK.
