I'm Sorry Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Blimlim 

Cover art for I'm Sorry lyrics by Brenda Lee

The girl did something hurtful to her boyfriend, and wants him to know how much she regrets it. No clues are given as to exactly what she did, which I think was intentional, so the listener could base it on their own experiences.

He responds that, "mistakes are part of being young." I find this line out of place, because it's not really something a young person would say. It's something an older person, like a parent, would say to someone young. Just how old is this girl's boyfriend supposed to be? But, I don't really think that's what they were trying to imply. I think the line is just poorly thought-out.
