Ooh ooh ooh ooh sorry, ooh ooh ooh ooh sorry

Well I came home from work in the middle of the day
Two hours early, but a little too late
She was coming down the stairs, looking mighty grand
With a big brown suitcase in her hand

I said, "What's goin' on, baby, what's the deal"
She said, "I just don't feel like I used to feel"
With the devil's own smile right out of the blue
She said, "I done went and found myself somebody new"
She said,

Sorry it didn't work out
Sorry, guess I'll see you around
She ruined my life, left me broken hearted
And all she had to say was, "Sorry"

Well, I laid awake cryin' for many a night
I just couldn't seem to get her off my mind
I went to her, got down on my knees
Said, "Baby, won't ya please come back to me"
She said,

Sorry it didn't work out
Sorry, guess I'll see you around
She ruined my life, left me broken hearted
And all she had to say was, "Sorry"

Well, time went by and my poor heart healed
I found me a woman who's love is real
Man she's a looker, the apple of my eye
And every head turns when she walks by

Well, we ran into my old flame the other day
It blew my mind what she had to say
She said, "Hello, baby, well how have you been
I was hopin' maybe we could get together again"
And I said,

Sorry it didn't work out
Sorry, guess I'll see you around
You ruined my life and left me broken hearted
And all you had to say was, "Sorry"

You said, "Sorry"

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
