I'm Not Sorry
The Pigeon Detectives Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But sometimes they get rearranged
I know that you’re wrong
You’ve known all along
You said I could keep you safe
Then up and left without a trace
I know that you’re wrong
You’ve known all along
I’ll never take it back
I’ll never take it back
I didn’t mean to make you cry
I’m not sorry
No, I’m not sorry
No, I’m not sorry
No, I’m not sorry
Things you say, they sound so fake
Can make me drink until I ache
I know that you’re wrong
You’ve known all along
You’re not pleased till you draw blood
I don’t hit back but think I should
I know that you’re wrong
You’ve known all along
I’ll never take it back
I’ll never take it back
I didn’t mean to make you cry
I’m not sorry
No, I’m not sorry
No, I’m not sorry
No, I’m not sorry

@ineedue
The Pigeon Detectives was the first ever gig I went to! It was in the Liverpool academy small venue with about 80 people there. Amazing! It was wild and out of all the gigs I have been to this was still my favourite gig ❤
