Sorry's Not Enough
McFly Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Good, good, good enough.
Good, good, good enough.
Good, good.
I can't stop, I can't stop loving you.
You're a dreamer and dreaming's what you do,
I won't stop believing that this is the end, there must be another way.
Sorry's not good enough, why are we breaking up?
Cause I didn't treat you rough so please don't go changing.
What was I thinking of?
You said you're out of love, baby don't call this off because sorry's not good enough.
Don't stop, all those things you do.
I'm a believer and that's what gets you through,
I can't fight this feeling that this is the end,
We're in the thick of it, where will this ever end? Woah, woah.
Sorry's not good enough, why are we breaking up?
Cause I didn't treat you rough so please don't go changing.
What was I thinking of?
You said you're out of love, baby don't call this off because sorry's not good enough.
Oh, you said you'd never leave me here, yeah a whole new reason.
Sorry's just not good enough for you,
Everybody makes mistakes and that's just what we do.
Good, good, good, good enough.
Good, good, good enough.
Good, good, good enough.
Good, good.
Don't go changing,
Don't go changing,
Don't go changing,
Don't go changing,
Don't go changing,
Don't go changing,
Don't go changing,
Don't go changing,
Don't go changing (sorry's not good enough),
Don't go changing (sorry's not good enough),
Don't go changing (sorry's not good enough),
Don't go changing.
Sorry's not good enough, why are we breaking up?
Cause I didn't treat you rough so please don't go changing.
What was I thinking of?
You said you're out of love, baby don't call this off because sorry's not good enough.
Sorry's not good enough.
Sorry's not good enough.
The song Sorry's Not Good Enough is a pop rock tune by the British band McFly, which was included in their third album, Motion in the Ocean, released in 2006. The song's theme revolves around a broken relationship that the singer wishes to salvage. He accepts his mistakes and acknowledges that sorry is just not enough to keep his partner from calling things off. The lyrics reflect the singer's despair and his willingness to change and do better to get his love back.
The chorus repeats several times, emphasizing the notion that the mere act of apologizing may not suffice to mend the shattered relationship. The singer is aware that he did not necessarily mistreat or take for granted his partner, but he might have failed to appreciate her love and commit enough time and effort. He pleads with his partner to give him another chance and not change who she is and how she feels towards him because his apologies are hollow words without actions to back them up.
Overall, McFly's Sorry's Not Good Enough conveys an honest and sincere message, tackling a common occurrence amongst romantic relationships where regret sometimes comes too late or apologies fall short of earning forgiveness.
