I'm Sorry
Sylfronia King Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To get back where it was
And I know I was wrong to leave
Was better off staying at home
Heard you found yourself someone
But she can't do what I do
And I need a chance to prove
That I am way better for you
So I say I'm sorry for
All the times I hurt you and
I won't push you away no more
I think I found what I'm searching for
For the other side ain't as good as you think
Don't go walking out the door
Don't wanna let you go
No, no, no, no, no, no
My feelings are so strong
In your arms is where I belong
Never know what you have 'till its gone
Had the right man all along
Boy I need a second chance
I don't wanna search anymore
For the one I love is here
So please accept who I am
So I say I'm sorry for
All the times I hurt you and
I won't push you away no more
I think I found what I'm searching for
For the other side ain't as good as you think
Don't go walking out the door
Don't wanna let you go
No, no, no, no, no, no
I'm sorry for the way I beat you up boy
Instead of put you down I should of picked you up boy
I'm feeling bad inside
I put away my pride
Wanna make it up boo
Tell me what I gotta do
I ain’t moving out this spot
Till you forgive me
Then I can make it up and we can start a family
You was right and I was so wrong
So what you wanna do
All I can do is say

The time has come for us
It's time for us to get back together
To get back where it was
To return to our previous relationship
And I know I was wrong to leave
I realize I made a mistake by leaving you
Was better off staying at home
I should have stayed with you instead of leaving
Heard you found yourself someone
I heard you're seeing someone else now
But she can't do what I do
She can't love you the way I can
And I need a chance to prove

Please tell me how I can make it up to you
I ain’t moving out this spot
I'm not leaving until we work things out
Till you forgive me
Until you're able to forgive me
Then I can make it up and we can start a family
Once you forgive me, we can move forward and start a family
You was right and I was so wrong
You were correct and I was in the wrong
So what you wanna do
What do you want to do?
All I can do is say
All I can do is apologize and ask for forgiveness
