Sorry
Lee Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm sorry, so sorry
That I was such a fool
I didn't know
Love could be so cruel
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, yes

You tell me mistakes
Are part of being young

But that don't right
The wrong that's been done

(I'm sorry) I'm sorry
(So sorry) So sorry
Please accept my apology
But love is blind
And I was too blind to see
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, yes

You tell me mistakes
Are part of being young
But that don't right
The wrong that's been done
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, yes

I'm sorry, so sorry
Please accept my apology

But love was blind
And I was too blind to see (sorry)
