Hard To Say I'm Sorry
MC Mario Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Everybody needs a little time away
I heard her say
From each other
Even lovers need a holiday
Far away
From each other
Hold me now
It's hard for me to say I'm sorry
I just want you to stay
After all that we've been through
I will make it up to you
I promise to
And after all that's been said and done
You're just the part of me I can't let go

Couldn't stand to be kept away
Just for the day
From your body
Wouldn't wanna be swept away
Far away
From the one that I love

Hold me now
It's hard for me to say I'm sorry
I just want you to know
Hold me now
I really want to tell you I'm sorry
I could never let you go
After all that we've been through
I will make it up to you
I promise to
And after all that's been said and done
You're just the part of me I can't let go

After all that we've been through
I will make it up to you
I promise to

You're gonna be the lucky one

When we get there gonna jump in the air
No one'll see us 'cause there's nobody there




After all, you know we really don't care
Hold on, I'm gonna take you there

"Akon took a step back from the spotlight by choosing to partake in the process of helping several countries in Africa, as opposed to continuing to make music as a supposedly proud African and not give back to it in some way, shape or form."
"Akon has a solar project for Africa named “Akon Lighting Africa” where he funds clean, sustainable solar systems to bring energy to African villages."
I call this being a real human, being brave and beeing a good person! Hats off!

@CatharticSense

Victor Stamenov What is giving back? If Akon wouldn't have nice songs or a good voice he would be screwed in the US. No one gave him anything, how can you "give" back then? People diddn't buy his songs because they wanted to give him money.

And the solar thing can give money or create a good image/goodwill wich equals money. How do you know he is giving anything?

@med8615

+Mister Quince| It is clear that he is giving, do some research on his organization. The difference between his org and other celebrity orgs is that he is there on the site personally helping out people in Africa, not just chilling at home while people praise him for making a charity. Even if his name is getting out there it's not like he is using that publicity to promote his new album or something, he's been out of the game for a while now. There are some celebrities that do something good to get publicity so people can buy their new album/product, he isn't doing that.

@VERITYandCHELSEA

Thank you for sharing this with us Victor & thank you Akon for trying to help towards Africa's devlopment.
