Sorry
Lil Nas X Lyrics

(Roy Baby)

These days
They've been going too well and it's
Getting too hard to handle
I can't get enough of myself
My reflection's my only friend now
And Wednesdays
Feel like the motherfucking weekend
Don't need a party, I'm the event

Feels like I shot up all my demons, yeah

Calling on Whitney, calling on Lennon
Tell them they don't get me
Finally, I'm living
Living by the seaside, living, laughing
While the world is in ashes
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm

I'm sorry if I'm fine
While the world's burning down
I'm sorry if I'm fine (Woo)
While the world's burning down, yeah (Woo)

I'm still breaking out of my shel
But I feel like I'm finally free now
Don't see the birdies up on my shelf
Keep it to yourself, let me be now
And you say, you say I'm selfish
Gotta prove me
I'm always helping out, but truly
Today, I'm thinking I'ma do me, yeah

Calling on Whitney, calling on Lennon
Tell them they don't get me
Finally, I'm living
Living by the seaside, living, laughing
While the world is in ashes
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm

I'm sorry if I'm fine
While the world's burning down
I'm sorry if I'm fine (Woo)
While the world's burning down, yeah (Woo)

I'm doing fine (Woo)
And I'm doing fine (Woo)
I'm sorry if I'm fine
While the world's burning down, yeah
