Not Sorry
Mathew V Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't you know I′m waiting for you
I used to think as time went by
You'd come right back and say you saw the light and I'd wait
I would wait
But I′m still here, and you′re not sorry
Don't know how you went and cut me loose when I said I needed you
After all the years what's your excuse when I said I needed you ohh
You′re still not sorry
How can sorry seem so hard to do when that's all I asked of you
I know that you know what you've done
I don′t know why you simply don′t care
Mmm you left me there, you left me sour
It's said and done we′ve past the final hour
I won't wait
And I′m still here, and you're not sorry
Don′t know how you went and cut me loose when I said I needed you
But I'm still broken, and you're not sorry
After all the years what′s your excuse when I said I needed you ohh
You′re still not sorry
How can sorry seem so hard to do when that's all I asked of you
Ohhh you′re still not sorry no no
I'm still here no no
And you′re still not sorry, not sorry, not sorry
And you're not sorry
How can sorry seem so hard to do, when that′s all I ask of you
