Sorry
Vintage Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

In my mind you're with somebody new
Dancing under the light of the moon
Will I see your eyes before the sunrise
And will your love for me stay true

Even in this dark room I still smell your perfume
But your fragrance ain't enough keep me warm
I'm asking for a favor because you feel like a stranger
And I don't want to live my life alone

Say you're sorry, just say you're sorry
I waited up for you the whole damn night
I sit in silence but inside I'm raging
Will I be waiting for you all my life

I won't make you choose I don't want to lose
And I'm not quite sure where we stand
Well, you won't forget, these empty threats
So this time I'll let you win

The street they should be vacant
But you can't seem to make it
Back to where you know you belong
It seems like you are controlled by
The city lights the nightlife
Why can't I be enough for you

Say you're sorry, just say you're sorry
I waited up for you the whole damn night
I sit in silence but inside I'm raging
Will I be waiting for you all my life

Don't try to blame this on me
Don't try to blame this on me
Don't try to blame this on me
Don't try to blame this on me
Don't try to blame this on me
Don't try to blame this on me

Say you're sorry, just say you're sorry
I waited up for you the whole damn night
I sit in silence but inside I'm raging
Will I be waiting for you all my life

Say you're sorry, just say you're sorry
Say you're sorry, just say you're sorry
Say you're sorry, just say you're sorry
Say you're sorry, just say you're sorry




Say you're sorry, just say you're sorry
Say you're sorry, just say you're sorry
