I'm sorry
Teddy Geiger Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The lids of our eyes blinded to the stars outside
Staring up the clocks upon the wall
She thinks about the bitter words we said tonight
Wishing i would be the one to call
Tell her im wrong tell her it all
Tell her i feel just how she feels
Tell her to me
Shes everything
I've let you down
Words wont fix this now
But i'll make it up to you another way
I'm sorry
I want you to know
I wont let go if the world turns i know well find a way
I'm sorry
I'm driving dow this street that leads back to your place
I'm praying if i knock you'll let me in
The ligths are of you could be gone maybe its too late
I'm comtemplating words i want to say
Tell her im wrong tell her it all
Tell her i feel just how she feels
Tell her to me
Shes everything
I've let you down
Words wont fix this now
I wont let go if the world turns i know well find a way
I'm sorry
I want you to know
I wont let go
If the world turns
I know we'll find a way
Tell her im wrong tell her it all
Tell her i feel just how she feels
Tell her to me
Shes everything
I've let you down
Words wont fix this now
But i'll make it up to you another way
I'm sorry
I want you to know
I wont let go if the world turns i know well find a way
I'm sorry
I've let you down
Words wont fix this now
But i'll make it up to you another way
I'm sorry
I want you to know
I wont let go




If the world turns
I know we'll find a way
