Sorry Is a Sorry Word
Tarrus Riley Lyrics

Your words have no meaning
Your promises and apologies hold no value because your actions prove otherwise

'Cause you continue to do the same thing
Your behavior remains unchanged despite your words

Now sorry is a sorry word
The word sorry has lost its power and meaning because it is overused and insincere

Look at all I've done for you
I have done a lot for you, but you continue to hurt me and take me for granted

Come with your sweet talk
You speak affectionately and lovingly

Call me your sweetheart
You refer to me as your beloved

And everyday you break another piece of my heart
Every day you break my heart a little more with your hurtful actions and behavior

I'm sorry that you're sorry but sorry's not good enough for me baby
I acknowledge your apology, but it is not sufficient to heal the pain and damage you have caused

I'm sorry that you're sorry but sorry can't dry my tears lady
Your apology cannot comfort or erase the tears I have shed

Each time we fight, you come with your same story
You keep repeating the same excuses and stories whenever we have an argument

Now you sorry but I'm sorry 'cause I can't accept your apology
I am also sorry, but I cannot forgive you yet despite your apology

You say it, you say it
You speak the words over and over again

But you nuh mean it
But you don't truly mean what you say

But mi nuh believe it
But I don't believe your words or promises

What you want me fi do
What do you expect me to do?

Yo, we too repetitive
We keep repeating the same patterns and behavior

Me verses you, everything competitive
Our relationship has become a competition between us

A nuh so me want fi live, no a nuh my proragative
This is not how I want to live and it is not my choice

You say you want mi treat you right, girl look at what you did
You claim you want me to treat you well, but your actions have contradicted your words

Care bout mi feelings no
You don't care about my feelings

You nuh have no time fi me
You don't give me any attention or priority

Loving weh you say you have
The love you claim to have

You nuh have it devine fi me
You don't express that love to me in a true, genuine way

One bag a things mi hear tru the grape vine you si
I hear many negative things about you from others

When mi confront you a one bag a lie you si
When I confront you about it, you just tell lies

A pure talking
What you say is just empty words

And everyday excitment a pure drama
Every day there is drama and chaos in our relationship

People have wi business pon di corna
Other people are involved in our private affairs

Ok anytime dem call my name
Okay, anytime they call my name

But as dem call your name you quick fi call dem informa
But when they mention your name, you quickly become an informant and disclose information

What kind a life dis? Yo, mi can't bother
What kind of life is this? I can't handle it anymore

What happen to the niceness? You nuh see how mi get magga?
What happened to our good times? Don't you see how much weight I have lost?

All you bring a crisis, crosses because of
You only bring chaos and stress to my life

Staying is like awaiting disaster
Continuing to stay in this relationship is like waiting for a catastrophe

A blah blah blah! I'm walking!
Your words mean nothing to me anymore. I'm leaving this relationship
