I'm sorry
Platters The Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I know that I'm the foolish one
Now, that I see who's to blame
I'm so ashamed, I'm sorry
I'm sorry for the things I've said
Just like a child, I lost my head
I should have known from the start
Please be kind and I know you'll find
It's so easy to forgive
Darling, wait for it's not too late
Give our love a chance to live
I know the heartaches you've been through
I know for I've had heartaches too
There's nothing more I can do
But say to you I'm sorry
Please be kind and I know you'll find
It's so easy to forgive
Darling, wait for it's not too late
Give our love a chance to live, oh, live
I know the heartaches you've been through
I know for I've had heartaches too
There's nothing more I can do
But say to you I'm sorry
(Darling, I'm truly sorry)
The Platters' song "I'm Sorry" is a heartfelt apology from the singer to their lover for all the pain they've caused. The singer sings of their foolishness and regret for the things they've done and said, and their guilt for realizing too late who is to blame. The singer pleads for forgiveness, acknowledging the hurt they've caused and promising to make things right.
However, the song goes beyond a simple apology. The singer acknowledges that they are not the only one who has suffered heartache, for both the singer and the lover have experienced emotional pain. The singer's words thus express not only remorse, but also empathy and a desire to heal the wounds that both have endured. The singer's final plea, "Give our love a chance to live," suggests that the relationship is worth saving and that a future together is possible if forgiveness is granted.
Overall, "I'm Sorry" is a poignant expression of the pain of hurting someone you love and the power of asking for forgiveness and working towards healing. It's a timeless sentiment that has resonated with listeners through the decades.

I was very young hearing all their songs. In fact my family had all their long playing records and album
I grew up listening to all their songs and up to the present I still do listen to them. You can only feel the lyrics that touches the heart.
