​i’m sorry Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I thought about what I would say
But I'm two years too late

I can't imagine how you doin' these days, mm
Sure it wasn't perfect back then
I'll be first to admit
But it was better than bein' strangers again, oh

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm drunk too late, talkin' to the moon
Writing songs I can't sing to you 'cause

[Chorus]
Ever since that day, the things I didn't say they haunt me, oh
And I know that I'm to blame, so go ahead and blame it on me, oh
I know that I'm too late, but I'll say it anyway, I'm sorry
I'm sorry
I'm sorry
Though it's far too late

[Verse 2]
And it was me, it wasn't you
It's cliché, but it's true
I wasn't thinkin' how I usually do, oh
And is your mama doin' well?
Or does she hate me still?
Bet it was hard to watch me put you through hell
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm drunk too late, talkin' to the moon, ooh
Writing songs I can't sing to you 'cause

[Chorus]
Ever since that day, the things I didn't say, they haunt me, oh
I know that I'm to blame, so go ahead and blame it on me, oh
I know that I'm too late, but I'll say it anyway, I'm sorry
I'm sorry, mm
I'm sorry
Though it's far too late

[Bridge]
And if you ever hear this
I hope you know that I'm not proud of who I've been
Ooh
And if I see you again
I hope you know that I wish you nothin' but the best
My biggest regret

[Chorus]
Ever since that day, the things I didn't say, they haunt me
I know that I'm to blame, so go ahead and blame it on me, ooh
I know that I'm too late, but I'll say it anyway, I'm sorry
I'm sorry
[Outro]
Mm, I'm sorry
Oh, I'm sorry

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
