Silk Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To put our pride aside
When all we should do is just say
I'm sorry
I'm sorry, baby
All alone in my room
I see visions of you
What went wrong
As I sit here with my pain
Knowing I'm the one to blame
Had to play those silly games
Now there's no refrain, refrain
[Pre-Chorus]
I should of listened when you cried
I should of opened up my eyes
Too busy holding on to pride
I didn't hear you say goodbye
[Chorus]
So how do I say I'm sorry
When you're gone
How do I say that you were right
And baby I was wrong
I can feel that old black water
Comin' down on me strong
'Cause see, I had a real good something
And now I'm sitting here with nothing
I'm drowning, can somebody help me
Tell me how to say I'm sorry
So yesterday I sat and wrote these words
And tried not to cry
Guess it's true what they say
You never miss your water 'till your well runs dry
I miss your face, your faults, your laughter
Your tears, the way you smile (I miss your smile)
Can't nobody take your place
Damn girl, I really miss your sweet embrace
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus: x 2]
If there's anyone you need to say I'm sorry to

Silk's "I'm Sorry" is a soulful ballad about a man who realizes his mistake after losing the woman he loves. The lyrics speak about regret and the desire to make things right with someone he hurt. The song starts with genuine remorse from the singer, admitting that it can be challenging to apologize because of pride. However, he admits to his mistake and acknowledges that he should have listened to her more closely.

As the song progresses, the singer becomes more introspective, admitting that he misses everything about her and that it is regretful that he took her for granted. He acknowledges that he wrote the lyrics to apologize because he misses her so much and wishes he could have her back. It is a sad song filled with longing, regret, and the yearning to put things right.
Line by Line Meaning
I know sometimes it's hard
I understand that it can be difficult
To put our pride aside
to let go of our egos and focus on the bigger picture
When all we should do is just say
when the solution is as simple as apologizing
I'm sorry, baby
apologizing to a loved one
All alone in my room
being isolated and reflecting on what went wrong
I see visions of you
remembering past memories and experiences with the person
And I think to myself
reflecting on personal thoughts and feelings
What went wrong
wondering where the relationship went awry
As I sit here with my pain
experiencing emotional distress
Knowing I'm the one to blame
taking responsibility for causing harm
Had to play those silly games
acted in a manipulative way
Now there's no refrain, refrain
having to live with the consequences and repercussions
I should of listened when you cried
regretting not taking the person's feelings seriously
I should of opened up my eyes
wishing to have been more aware of the situation
Too busy holding on to pride
thinking too highly of oneself and not being able to apologize
I didn't hear you say goodbye
not realizing the end of the relationship until it was too late
So how do I say I'm sorry
questioning how to apologize
When you're gone
after the person has left
How do I say that you were right
admitting to being wrong and recognizing the person's perspective
And baby I was wrong
acknowledging fault and expressing remorse
I can feel that old black water
being overwhelmed by guilt and shame
Comin' down on me strong
suffering from the emotional weight of one's actions
'Cause see, I had a real good something
realizing the value of the relationship
And now I'm sitting here with nothing
feeling the loss of the relationship
I'm drowning, can somebody help me
struggling to cope with the situation
Tell me how to say I'm sorry
seeking guidance on how to apologize
So yesterday I sat and wrote these words
reflecting and expressing thoughts through writing
And tried not to cry
suppressing emotions
Guess it's true what they say
realizing the veracity of a common phrase
You never miss your water 'till your well runs dry
not understanding the value of something until it is gone
I miss your face, your faults, your laughter
longing for the person's presence and characteristics
Your tears, the way you smile (I miss your smile)
appreciating the nuances of the relationship
Can't nobody take your place
understanding the uniqueness of the person
Damn girl, I really miss your sweet embrace
yearning for physical affection
If there's anyone you need to say I'm sorry to
advising to seek forgiveness where needed
Say it out loud, ohh before they're no longer around
emphasizing the importance of expressing remorse before it's too late
You gotta make something right now
encouraging the listener to take action
This is what you need to do, now baby
providing guidance and support
Just say I'm sorry
offering a simple solution
Oh, so sorry
expressing sincere remorse
Get on your knees if you have to
demonstrating a willingness to humble oneself
You gotta make 'em believe it
understanding the necessity of convincing the person
You gotta make 'em come see it, hey
demonstrating a willingness to make amends
Hey yeah, sorry
reiterating the apology
Yes I am
firmly expressing sincerity
Thank you for helping me
showing appreciation for guidance and support
From the bottom of my heart
expressing true emotions and feelings
To the depths of my soul
acknowledging a deep, personal connection
My body and mind
expressing a complete apology
I'm reaching out to you
attempting to reconcile
So you can know
communicating clear intentions
Think about you every day
expressing constant thoughts and feelings
Think about you every night, yeah, oh
acknowledging the pervasiveness of thoughts and emotions
Everything gon' be alright
offering reassurance
'Cause I say
asserting control over one's accountability
And I believe
expressing a true and sincere apology
And I want you
demonstrating desire to make things right
I want you to feel it
hoping for the recipient to receive and accept the apology
