So Sorry
My New Life Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I apologize on my behalf, for ever trying to make you laugh. I didn't know that you were undeserving. Who would have known that all along, I was right and you were wrong, I had no idea that you were this self-serving. You did everything, that I hated you to do. I guess what goes around, will come right back on you. I hope you're sorry too. Forgive me if I ever said anything to lift your head. I should have left you crying all alone. The day I called you years ago, there was no way I could know I never should have picked up that damn phone. You did everything that I hated you to do. I guess what goes around, will come right back on you. I hope you're sorry too.




Overall Meaning

The lyrics to My New Life's song "So Sorry" speak to a person who is expressing regret to someone they once cared about deeply. The singer begins by apologizing for trying to make this person laugh, suggesting that their attempt at humor was somehow misguided or inappropriate. As the song continues, the singer reveals that they now feel justified in their previous feelings of disdain towards this person, who they now see as self-serving and undeserving of their kindness.


The singer then goes on to express a sense of regret for ever having tried to lift this person's spirits or make them feel better, as it seems that all of their efforts were ultimately futile. The final lines of the song suggest that the singer believes in karma and that their former companion will eventually receive comeuppance for their actions.


Taken as a whole, these lyrics speak to the human experience of trying to give love and support to someone who ultimately proves unworthy, and the resulting sense of regret and disappointment that can arise. At the same time, the song also conveys a sense of catharsis and closure as the singer is finally able to express their true feelings and move on from a toxic relationship.
