Sorry Lyrics

Will you listen to my story
It’ll just be a minute
How can I explain
Whatever happened here never meant to hurt you
How can I cause you so much pain
When I say I’m sorry
Will you believe me
Listen to my story
Say you won’t leave me
When I say I’m sorry
Can you forgive me
When I say I will always be there
Will you believe, will you believe in me
All the words that I come up with
They’re like gasoline on flames
There’s no excuse, no explanation
Believe me if I could undo what I did wrong
I’d give away all that I own
When I say I’m sorry
Will you believe me
Listen to my story
Say you won’t leave me
When I say I’m sorry
Can you forgive me
When I say I will always be there
Will you believe
If I told you I’ve been cleanin’ my soul
And If I promise you I’ll regain control
Will you open your door
And let me in take me for who I am
And not for who I’ve been, who I’ve been
When I say I’m sorry
Will you believe me
Listen to my story
Say you won’t leave me
When I say I’m sorry
Can your forgive me
When I say I will always be there
Will you believe me
When I say I’m sorry
When I say I’m sorry
When I say I’m sorry
When I say I’m sorry
When I say I’m sorry
Can you forgive me
When I say I will always be there
Will you believe

Will you listen to my story 
It’ll just be a minute 
How can I explain 
Whatever happened here never meant to hurt you 
How can I cause you so much pain 
When I say I’m sorry 
Will you believe me 
Listen to my story 
Say you won’t leave me 
When I say I’m sorry 
Can you forgive me 
When I say I will always be there 
Will you believe, will you believe in me 
All the words that I come up with 
They’re like gasoline on flames 
There’s no excuse, no explanation 
Believe me if I could undo what I did wrong 
I’d give away all that I own 
When I say I’m sorry 
Will you believe me 
Listen to my story 
Say you won’t leave me 
When I say I’m sorry 
Can you forgive me 
When I say I will always be there 
Will you believe 
If I told you I’ve been cleanin’ my soul 
And If I promise you I’ll regain control 
Will you open your door 
And let me in take me for who I am 
And not for who I’ve been, who I’ve been 
When I say I’m sorry 
Will you believe me 
Listen to my story 
Say you won’t leave me 
When I say I’m sorry 
Can your forgive me 
When I say I will always be there 
Will you believe me 
When I say I’m sorry 
When I say I’m sorry 
When I say I’m sorry 
When I say I’m sorry 
When I say I’m sorry 
Can you forgive me 
When I say I will always be there 
Will you believe

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Wow this is an amazing song!!! It seems pretty self explanitory. He has betrayed a friend or partner and has hurt them .... a lot, he wants them to listen to his story because maybe they will understand why he betrayed them, he never meant to hurt them and he wants the person to forgive him and take him back..... he thinks he has changed...can be trusted and always be there for the person.......hes really sorry, and wants the person to believe that
