I'm sorry
Vitamin X Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You say I'm so judgemental
Well, only on myself!
I'm not so opinionated
That I'm prejudging someone else…
I'm only sorting out things,
And trying to get them right:
Here to change my own life,
Not everyone in sight!

I'M SORRY, if it's not getting through
I'M SORRY, but I'm not judging you!
I'M SORRY, if you must be that way…

I'M SORRY, that I only have to say:
FUCK YOU!!!
