I'm sorry
Zauntee Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You need to know that you matter
And that I'm proud of you
And you have a purpose
I know you're hurting and you're losing sleep
But you are not worthless
The world wouldn't be the same without you
And to the people who doubt you
They really don't know nothin' about you, yeah

And it's not about what they think
It's not about what they said
And it's not about the voices
That are screaming in your head
What you were looking for
And all the times you looked up at that door
Praying that they'd come back
And they never did

And there's been so many nights
Where you just laid in bed and cried
But you were tryna find a reason
You were supposed to stay alive

I'm sorry for all they did to you
I'm sorry for your heart they broke in two
I'm sorry for the pain that you've been through
I'm sorry, yeah
I'm sorry for all they did to you
I'm sorry for your heart they broke in two
I'm sorry for the pain that you've been through
I'm sorry

You are not alone
I know you're not alone
You're not alone, hmm

The truth is that you're broken
And that your heart's been torn open
You don't know how to fix it
But nobody really gets it
And all the prayers that you've put up
Just bounce right off the ceiling
And you feel paralysed
You'll do anything for a feeling

And there's been so many nights
You just laid in bed and cried
You were tryna find a reason
You just want the sun to rise

I'm sorry for all they did to you
I'm sorry for your heart they broke in two
I'm sorry for the pain that you've been through
I'm sorry, yeah
I'm sorry for all they did to you
I'm sorry for your heart they broke in two
I'm sorry for the pain that you've been through
I'm sorry

You are not alone
I know you're not alone
You're not alone
You are not alone

You are, you are, you are, you are
You are, you are, you are, you are
You are, you are, you are, you are

I'm sorry for all they did to you
I'm sorry for what they put you through
I'm sorry you didn't have a choice
I'm sorry that no one heard your voice
And I'm sorry you fell apart alone
I'm sorry that your house was not a home
And I'm sorry it always feels the same
And you can't heal the pain

Yeah, yeah, yeah
You are, you are, you are, you are
You are, you are, you are, you are (I'm sorry)
You are, you are, you are, you are (I'm sorry)

Like I know, it's not always easy
And it's, it's gonna hurt sometimes




But you'll make it
I promise you, you'll make it

New level of respect for you, brother. You got it exactly right.
This is a song that NEEDED to be written a LONG time ago, but you are the one who finally wrote it.
As someone who was suicidal at age 8 (and only God stopped me), you even said it right. "I'm sorry." It's what we always needed to hear from those who hurt us, but we never will. (I'm crying now)
Thank you for your heart, the sincerity, your passion for people and for God.

It's never really gone away, blaming myself, hating myself-- the responses I learned as a child. But, God is retraining me.

Thank you for this song.
You are our brother now.
We (my family and I) are for you and not against you, always.

Zauntee thanks for speaking to peoples’ hearts. I have been a Christian since a little kid and raised up in the church. I never fitted in with the world. I have been bullied, abused, and misused by others. I gave into depression June 21, 2023 and attempted. I was in ICU for a few days. I went to a chaplain service while hospitalized and was able to let my anger go. I was surprised that a lot of that anger was towards God. Often we blame God (even unconsciously and unintentionally) for our suffering. Anyway, I have been spiritually, mentally , emotionally, and physically resurrected and have become more joyful. I found a new church after being in that state of depression and the place they send people who would harm their own being (psych ward). It is now November 2023. I am a leader in church. I decided to actively turn my mourning into praise and worship by singing in my church’s choir. I started with choir and now am in the church’s handbell choir and do liturgical readings for church service. Today while praying to God, I felt in the mood to listen to Christian music. For some reason I thought “let me listen to my boy Zauntee (I have listened to him a lot this summer). “ I have multiple songs by Zauntee on my Sunday Sunshine playlist. However, today I went to his music profile and randomly chose the 3:34 album. As you fans know, it is the first song in the 3:34 album. God moves through our lives indeed because I have never heard this song by Zauntee before today. I think this is a response to one of my prayers. God hurts with us. God is with us during abuse, misuse, and suffering. I feel better because I know God hears our cries. Indeed, the Holy Spirit is The Comforter and this song is from The Comforter. God bless you Zauntee! Remember your purpose and worth. Anyone feeling depressed, please get psychological help and do not attempt! I did and all I have found out is that I am not alone and that healing is available. In the hospital, they put you in group therapy. Depression tells you that you are the only one going through and it can even get so bad that you don’t feel God’s love for you. It is all a lie. You are worthy! Yeshua (Jesus) loves you! God cares and suffers with us. We are valuable to God! We are God’s children and loved by God! Just remember to ask for help! It is okay to not feel okay. We all have dark times. You are not alone. I hope my vulnerable testimony helps someone.

This song hit me in a way nothing has before. I can completely relate to this song. I’ve been dealing with depression and I have just felt like nobody understands or even wants to. Being 13 and going through so many deaths in my family, I have pulled more and more away from God. This song has really had a huge impact on my life and most importantly my relationship with Jesus. Thank you so much Zauntee. This song has been a light in my darkness. ♥️🥺

@lizvieira741

That's the mentality 👏 never give up, always going to be struggles in life, but with God in your he will always help you get through things 🙏

@mariahcay

I pray God will heal you, in Jesus name. He is the Healer and he is with you, he is for you
