Sorry
Sody Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And it's killing what we could be
We've been somethin from the start somethin from the start
There's a vision in my head
Is this real or just a fantasy
Don't want to lay down all my cards lay down all my cards
I'm running from the pain
Maybe this is midnight love
But no matter what you say
You're gonna have to wait
I'm sorry that you love me
Sorry I don't have the time
I'm sorry that you need me
But you'll always be mine
I'm sorry that you want me
I can't help it but it's true
I'll tell you why in another life
Sorry I don't love you
There's a passion in your vibe
But goodbye was always hard for you
I can see it in your eyes, see it in your eyes
Don't be what you don't want to be
Cause you can't have what you can't get from me
All I wanted was to talk but you kept me in the dark
Though you're running through my veins
I'm running from the pain
Maybe this is midnight love
But no matter what you say
You're gonna have to wait
I'm sorry that you love me
Sorry I don't have the time
I'm sorry that you need me
But you'll always be mine
I'm sorry that you want me
I can't help it but it's true
I'll tell you why in another life
Sorry I don't love you
Love me Love me
Love me Love me
Love me Love me
Love me Love me
Love me Love me
Love me Love me
Love me Love me
Love me
I'm sorry that you love me
Sorry I don't have the time
Sorry that you need me (need me)
But you'll always be mine
I'm sorry that you want me
I can't help it but it's true (love me, love me)
I'll tell you why in another life
Sorry I don't love you
Love me, love me
I can't help it but it's true
I'll tell you why in another life
Sorry I don't love you
Sody's song "Sorry" is about the singer's inability to reciprocate feelings of love from their suitor. The song speaks of a passion between them, but the singer's heart is just not in it. They feel regretful about how they feel, but they can't help it. The song opens with the line "There's a fire in my heart, and it's killing what we could be," which suggests the singer recognizes the potential passionate relationship they could have with their suitor, but they are unable to give themselves completely to the relationship. The lyrics "I'm sorry that you love me, sorry I don't have the time" tells us that the singer feels guilty that their suitor loves them, but they just can't seem to love them back. The song suggests that the singer is looking for something deeper, something more meaningful, than just a desire for physical intimacy.
The chorus of the song repeats the line "I'm sorry that you want me, I can't help it, but it's true," emphasizing how the singer wishes they could change their feelings, but they're uncontrollable. The last line of the chorus, "Sorry I don't love you," cements the suitor's position as unrequited, and the relationship as impossible.
Throughout the song, there's a sense of pain and self-awareness that the singer brings to their words. They seem to be aware of the pain they're causing the suitor, but can't do much to change how they feel. The song ends with the lines, "Love me, love me, I can't help it, but it's true. I'll tell you why in another life. Sorry, I don't love you," suggesting that, maybe in another life or another time or place, love would be possible.

There's a fire in my heart
I am feeling very passionate about something
And it's killing what we could be
But my strong emotions are actually preventing us from having a good relationship
We've been somethin from the start somethin from the start
There has been attraction and chemistry between us since the beginning
There's a vision in my head
I have a dream or a fantasy that I'm trying to figure out
Is this real or just a fantasy
I am questioning whether my vision is attainable or not
Don't want to lay down all my cards lay down all my cards
I don't want to reveal all my thoughts and feelings just yet
Though you're running through my veins
Even though I feel very strongly about you
I'm running from the pain
I am afraid of getting hurt or being vulnerable
Maybe this is midnight love
Perhaps our relationship is based purely on passion and desire
But no matter what you say
Even if you try to convince me otherwise
You're gonna have to wait
I am not ready to commit to anything just yet
I'm sorry that you love me
I feel guilty that you have feelings for me
Sorry I don't have the time
But I am too busy or preoccupied with other things in my life
I'm sorry that you need me
I wish I could fulfill your needs, but I'm not capable of doing so
But you'll always be mine
Even though I cannot give you what you want, you will always hold a special place in my heart
I'm sorry that you want me
I cannot change how you feel about me
I can't help it but it's true
But I cannot reciprocate those feelings, even though I wish I could
I'll tell you why in another life
Perhaps in another time or in another universe, we could have been together
Love me, love me
You desire my affection and approval
I'm sorry I don't love you
But unfortunately, I cannot love you back in the same way
