I'm Sorry (Album Version) Lyrics

I'm sorry
I don't mean to remember
It's true that I dream
Less often and I'm
Not ashamed of that
Long december
Your hand's coming down again
And I...

Close my eyes
And brace myself
Only noticed your face
No matter what you're gonna
Build my shell
No matter what you're gonna
Build my shell

I'm falling
I'm shedding my skin (my skin)
But it's not time I'm told (told)
I am aware (I'm aware)
Of what you mean by then
I'm only ten years old

Close my eyes
And brace myself
Only noticed your face
No matter what you're gonna
Build my shell
No matter what you're gonna
Build my shell

My scars are yours today
This story ends so good
I love you and I understand
That you stood where I stay

Close my eyes
And brace myself
Only noticed your face
No matter what you're gonna
Build my shell
No matter what you're gonna
Build my shell

I'M DONE HEALING
I'm done healing

i think it means she got raped when she was younger but forgave and gave it to GOD who was always there but she didnt realize it and now that she does she gives all the scars and pain 2 Him :)

I think that when she say "i'm only ten years old" I think its about when she first started experimenting with drugs. Because in one of the kerrang articles it says that she started experimenting when she was ten.

Song Meaning

Yeah, she did start drugs at ten...I don't know, some of the lines in this song, such as "Your hand's coming down again," really stand out to me as a story of childhood abuse.

I think this song has something to do with her cousin who was allegedly beat to death by her uncle. She said that that's what made her stop believing in God and eventually got her into drugs in the first place. I don't know, just a wild guess.

I'm Sorry is about how her mother used to hit her when she was young, she understand why and Lacey forgives her.

"I'm not ashamed Of that long December Your hand's coming down again." = Lacey remembers when her mom used to hit her.

"I close my eyes and brace myself I only noticed your face." = Before her mom used to hit her she'd cringe and just get herself ready for it, It was like they were the only 2 people in the room, she remembers that night/day/time period.

"But it's not time I'm told I am aware (am aware) Of what you mean by then I'm only ten years old." = Lacey was only 10 at the time and now since she's about 34 now, she understand and is fully aware why her mom used to hit her. No one had to tell her, she understood herself.

"My scars are yours today This story ends so good I love you and I understand That you stood where I stood." = When Lacey's mom hit her, it left scars and now It's just a reminder and now that she's grown up she's happier now and the story of her life ends great. She loves her mom and why she did that and maybe when her mom was little, she used to get hit she understands where her mom stands.

" I'm done healing I'm done healing." = She's done healing, It's over now, she forgives everybody who has ever done anything bad to her.
