Sorrow
Miles Kennedy Lyrics

I'm the only one
The singer feels isolated in his thoughts and perspective.

That sings the same old song.
He feels that he is stuck in his ways of thinking and behaving.

I know my destiny was made long ago,
He believes that his fate was set in stone and he cannot change it.

I've yet to make a change.
Despite being aware of his situation, he has not yet taken steps to change it.

Its time to rearrange.
He realizes the need to make changes in his life and the way he thinks.

[Chorus]
The chorus represents the singer's realization that he has not been paying attention to how others feel and that he needs to make changes.

I understand, it seems
He realizes that he has been unaware of other people's feelings.

I'm the last to notice,
He realizes that he has been oblivious to how others feel for a long time.

How anybody feels.
He acknowledges that he needs to be more sensitive to others' emotions.

Is it really 'cause I feel
He blames himself for not being more aware of others' feelings.

I'm the one thats owed it.
He feels that he deserves to be treated better by others.

Am I wrong? Am I wrong?
He questions his own perspective and whether it is correct or not.

You look at me the same,
Even though he has realized his shortcomings, he feels that others still see him in the same light.

Still I feel the blame.
He is hard on himself and feels responsible for not being a better person.

I was shifting my self,
He was trying to change himself and his behavior.

Removing all the punishment
He was trying to free himself from the consequences of his actions.

For never being wrong.
He realizes that he has always believed that he is right and never owned up to his mistakes.

I feel life is too long.
He feels that life is too long to live with regret and that he needs to make changes.

[Chorus]
The chorus represents the singer's realization that he has not been paying attention to how others feel and that he needs to make changes.

All my pride leaves me vacant
He feels empty and unfulfilled because his pride has hindered his ability to connect with others.

For the sorrow I'm to blame.
He accepts responsibility for the negative emotions he has caused in others.

But I know if I could just let go,
He believes that he needs to let go of his pride to be able to form meaningful relationships with others.

I could find a better way.
He believes that by changing his behavior, he can find a better path for himself.

Only, Am I the only one?
He wonders if he is the only one who feels this way.

Who thinks and breathes,
He feels that he is constantly thinking about his actions and how they affect others.

What no-one sees.
He feels that his thoughts are his own and no one else can understand them.

I'm the only one.
He still feels isolated and alone in his thoughts and perspective.

[Chorus]
The chorus represents the singer's realization that he has not been paying attention to how others feel and that he needs to make changes.

Give me just a chance,
He is asking for an opportunity to make amends for his past behavior.

I notice what I've done...
He is aware of the negative impact of his past actions and behavior.

What I've done.
He acknowledges his mistakes and is ready to take responsibility for them.
