I'm sorry
Moonstar 88 Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm on my way
With my roses and box full of sweets
I had it all, memorized the lines in my head
Thinking I'd be winning your smile
Once again

heeey...

But when I saw you
I realized how I am ashamed of myself
My mouth has failed to say the things i just can't express
Afraid to say things I might regret

heeey...

Chorus:
What is there to do when I did something wrong
I didn't mean to hurt you but it took so long

To say I'm sorry
I'm sorry

Say you won't ever leave me down
Say you won't ever leave me down
Say you won't ever leave me down
I'm sorry

Repeat Chorus

Say you won't ever leave me down
Say you won't
Say you won't

Say you won't ever leave me down
Say you won't ever leave me down

I'm sorry
I'm sorry
