I think that in this song the guy is sick and dying in a hospital. The girl is visiting him and taking pictures of the life he's missing out on. He's saying that he should have paid more attention to the small things. The guy is apologizing because he's not there for the girl, and for all his friends.
It's also possible that the guy has some disease that causes him to forget things, which is why he needs the pictures of his friends and family. This is referred to as "They're prints in a box when my memory stops". But that could just be refering to death.
The song is titled "My apologies" because that's what everyone says when someone close to you dies.
