I'M SORRY
Oval Opus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Awake, feeling so lost, I haven't slept for days, And I'm weak;
See I told you that hell, Would have to freeze, Before we'd end this;
And hear I am, There's a shiver in my knees, From our last kiss;
The walls are bare but memories are fading, Much to slow;
I'm sorry, You fell a sleep, By the phone,
I'm sorry, You had to wake up alone,
And a toast with one glass, Before a lonely ride home,
I'm sorry;
Turn back, Take one last look, From our front door,
Our life, There nothing left but squares of dust, On the floor;
See you told me, That everybody needs time to reflect,
But I can't chase another thought, That leads me to what we had;
The walls are bare but memories are fading, Much to slow;
I'm sorry, You fell a sleep, By the phone,
I'm sorry, You had to wake up alone,
I'm sorry, You had to dance by yourself,
And a toast with one glass, Before a lonely ride home,
I'm sorry;
I'm sorry, You fell a sleep, By the phone,
I'm sorry, You had to wake up alone,
I'm sorry, You had to dance by yourself,
And a toast with one glass, Before a lonely ride home;
I'm sorry, You fell a sleep, By the phone,
I'm sorry, You had to wake up alone,
I'm sorry, You had to dance by yourself,
And a toast with one glass, Before a lonely ride home,
I'm sorry
