I'm Sorry
Watkins Sean Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

So it's my turn now
To say the words I'm sorry
You'd think I'd be an expert
After all the times you showed me how

it pains my heart
To turn and leave you lonely
You'd think I'd be an expert
After all the times you showed me how

So many times I held my hand out
To open the door to my life, you couldn't care less
And so many times you walked away
So I closed it for the last time

it was sad but I
Didn't cry I'm sorry
You'd think I'd be an expert
After all the times you showed me how




Yah you'd think I'd be an expert
After all the times you showed me how

Overall Meaning

The singer acknowledges that the person they hurt has had to apologize to them many times before, and they should be an expert at apologizing themselves by now. However, they are still struggling with the pain of leaving the person lonely and hurting. They remember reaching out to the person so many times, only to be ignored or rejected, so they eventually gave up and closed the door on their relationship. Despite this, the singer did not cry when it ended, instead accepting responsibility for their actions and saying "I'm Sorry."


The lyrics reveal a sense of regret and sadness as the singer reflects on their mistakes and missed opportunities to make things right. They recognize that the other person has suffered because of their actions and they wish they had been more attentive and caring in the past.

Overall, the lyrics are a heartfelt apology and an acknowledgment of the pain that both parties have experienced in the relationship.

So it's my turn now
Now it is my opportunity to speak


To say the words I'm sorry
To apologize for my actions


You'd think I'd be an expert
One might assume I would be skilled


After all the times you showed me how
Because you have previously instructed me


it pains my heart
It causes emotional distress within me


To turn and leave you lonely
To depart from you and cause you solitude


So many times I held my hand out
Repeatedly I offered assistance


To open the door to my life, you couldn't care less
You did not show any interest in entering my life


And so many times you walked away
You left me often


So I closed it for the last time
I finally shut the door permanently


it was sad but I
The situation was upsetting but I


Didn't cry I'm sorry
Did not shed tears; I apologize


Yah you'd think I'd be an expert
Yes, one might believe I would have proficiency


After all the times you showed me how
Because of previous guidance you provided to me
