Sorry
friends Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No I'm not sorry
I'm not sorry anymore
I woke up feeling like this
So I had to write this
Your flaws are not a weakness
They contain your uniqueness
Pretending they don't see this
Don't obscure the pieces
Don't obscure the pieces
No you can't twist their mentality
Oh you can't deny reality
Oh
I'm not sorry
No I'm not sorry
I'm not sorry anymore
The you that you imagine
Ain't always who you'd imagine
The truth is too demandin'
You'd prefer to send a stand in
At first they thought you picked them
Then they thought you tricked them
Don't you play the victim
Don't you play the victim
No you can't trick their mentality
No you can't deny reality
Oh Oh Oh
I'm not sorry
No I'm not sorry
I'm not sorry anymore
I'm not sorry
I'm not sorry
No I'm not sorry
No I'm not sorry
I'm not sorry anymore
I'm not sorry anymore

Line by Line Meaning
Guess it started with a bottle
I'm not proud of what I did, but it all started when I had too much to drink.
I lost track of time
I wasn't paying attention to how late it was getting.
And I stumbled out into the night
I left the bar and walked out into the dark.
I was fighting with somebody
I got into an argument with someone.
He was twenty times bigger than me
The person I fought with was much bigger than me.
Ran away with a punch in the nose
I got punched in the nose and I ran away.
Before this night is over If I'm somehow not dead Then you will hear me crying I'm sorry
I know I messed up and I'm sorry for what I've done tonight.
, tomorrow There were things I said I shouldn't have said There were things I did I shouldn't have did I'm sorry, tomorrow, oh It is times like this I hope and I pray That I will forget what I did today Please forgive me I'm sorry, tomorrow
I regret the things I said and did tonight, and I hope you can forgive me tomorrow. I'm worried that I won't be able to forget what happened tonight.
Well it seems I met a lady And it also seems I forgot about my beautiful wife We were getting kinda busy Then she robbed me of all of my money And she ran off With all of my clothes
I met someone else tonight and forgot about my commitments to my wife. This other person took advantage of me and stole my money and clothes.
I've got mouths to feed and bills to pay Am I destined for a hard life til the end?
I'm struggling to support my family and pay my bills. I'm worried that this is how my life will always be.
Well I have to say I'm so sorry yesterday For the promises that I made And how I absolutely failed To keep them once again But maybe I will tomorrow
I'm sorry for not keeping the promises I made yesterday. I hope I can do better tomorrow.
Let me tell y'all something When the darkness is calling you Whether you drinking or blazing or whatever Try not to forget what happened to me So, until next time...
I want to give you all some advice. When you're feeling lost or confused or turn to alcohol or drugs, remember what happened to me. Don't make the same mistakes I did. See you later.

I think what I like best about this band is her vocals. They are very punk, too many "indie rock" bands are sooooo bland. Her off voice makes this track compelling.
Sapito Verde
I love her voice. Very rugged and unique. Suits the song well . Inspiration for sure
Jordan Robinson
I genuinely can’t decide if this is good or terrible. But I keep coming back to it.
Brian Kish

Adam Mundok
she is pitchy for the first part of the song, but I really like her creativity and vocal choices. This track reminds me of some early No Doubt Gwen Stefani
