Sorry
Lene Marlin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Do you want to know
Do you want to know, if I'm doing OK
Just ask and I'll say
I'll say the words that I've longed to speak
Have kept quiet for some time
I'm sorry, it's just too late
I'm sorry, it's just not right
We both know it wasn't meant to be like
This at all
Do you want to know, how I feel about you
Do you want to know,
Do you want to know, if I'm able to forget
There are times, I wish we'd never met
I'm sorry, it's just too late
To get it all back, get back what we had
I'm sorry, it's just not right
We both know it wasn't meant to be like
This at all
The lyrics of Lene Marlin's Sorry describes the feeling of regret and sorrow at the end of a relationship. In the beginning of the song, the singer is being asked if they want to know what they think of the person they are addressing. The singer goes on to say that they will tell the truth - that they have kept quiet about their feelings for a while. This implies that the relationship may have had some issues that were not addressed earlier.
The chorus repeats the phrase "I'm sorry" which can be interpreted in two ways. The singer could be apologizing for waiting too long to express their feelings, or apologizing for the fact that the relationship has ended. In either case, they are expressing regret at not being able to salvage the relationship. The second half of the chorus acknowledges the fact that the relationship was not meant to be, implying that both parties knew this all along.
In the second verse, the singer is asked whether they are able to forget about the person they are addressing. The singer admits that there are times when they wish they had never met. This could mean that the relationship ended on bad terms, or that the singer is struggling to move on.

Do you wanna know what I think of you
Do you wanna know
