잊혀지지 않는 말
돌이킬 수 없어 sorry
이기적인 난 I'm sorry
물들어 버린 city lights
차가워진 목소리
돌이킬 수 없어 sorry
이기적인 난 I'm sorry
Tonight 앞이 가려진 밤
흐려진 기억에 난
왜 또 힘들어져만 가는지
I'm lonely
나만 홀로 남겨진 밤
혹시 몰라 기다려
넌 왜 연락조차 없는지
I'm sorry 가지마 잊지마 날
내가 옆에 있을게
너만 바라봐 줄게 난 tonight
I'm sorry 미안해 하지마 girl
다시 돌아와 줄래
네가 없는 나는 없으니까
지쳐버린 난 tonight
잊혀지지 않는 말
돌이킬 수 없어 sorry
이기적인 난 I'm sorry
물들어 버린 city lights
차가워진 목소리
돌이킬 수 없어 sorry
이기적인 난 I'm sorry
늦었지만 미안해 oh
밤새 생각이나
기억에 난 없는지
왜 또 선명해져만 가는지
I'm falling
Girl, I never let you go
제발 돌아와 줄래
네가 없는 나는 없으니까
지쳐버린 난 tonight
잊혀지지 않는 말
돌이킬 수 없어 sorry
이기적인 난 I'm sorry
물들어 버린 city lights
차가워진 목소리
돌이킬 수 없어 sorry
이기적인 난 I'm sorry
늦었지만 미안해 oh
날 보던 눈빛이
익숙한 네 품속이
그림움에 난 또 눈시울이 붉어져 oh
널 만났던 거리
함께 했던 시간을
놓지 못할 것 같아
지쳐버린 난 tonight
잊혀지지 않는 말
돌이킬 수 없어 sorry
이기적인 난 I'm sorry
물들어 버린 city lights
차가워진 목소리
돌이킬 수 없어 sorry
이기적인 난 I'm sorry
늦었지만 미안해 oh
The Rose's song Sorry explores the feelings of sadness and regret after a relationship has ended. The singer is overcome with exhaustion and is unable to forget the hurtful words that were said between the two. They lament that they cannot take back their selfishness and apologize for any pain caused. The city lights, once vibrant and full of life, have become dulled and the singer's voice has become cold, representing the emotional numbness they feel. The chorus repeats the lyrics "I'm sorry" as a plea for forgiveness and a desire to make amends.
The second verse reveals the singer's loneliness and longing for their partner, who is no longer in contact with them. They request that their partner come back to them, promising to be there for them and look after them. The bridge describes the vivid memories of the relationship, highlighting the emotional connection the singer had with their partner. They now cry out in pain for what they have lost, knowing that they can never go back to the life they had before. The song ends with a final apology and expression of regret that it is too late to salvage the relationship.

Girl, I never let you go
Girl, I won't let you go
제발 돌아와 줄래
Please come back to me
날 보던 눈빛이
The look in your eyes when you saw me
익숙한 네 품속이
The familiar feeling in your arms
그림움에 난 또 눈시울이 붉어져 oh
In my imagination, my eyes turn red again
널 만났던 거리
The street where I met you
함께 했던 시간을
The time we spent together
놓지 못할 것 같아
I don't think I can let go
