Analysis of Sorry
Sorry is a word I hear a lot
Though it never really has a true meaning behind it
Sorry has no meaning if it is just the same words
Repeated every time just in a different order
They are always sorry
Sorry for upsetting me
But never sorry for the actions that upset me
The actions that affect me greater than they think
If they need me
Wanna see me
They better hurry
'Cause I'm leaving soon
Sorry can't save me now
Sorry I don't know how
Sorry there is no way out
But down
Tell my friends that I'll miss them
Tell my friends that I love them
But I'm not sorry
