I bumped into you at the store, sorry!
I took too long at the door, sorry!
I stuttered over my words, sorry!
My shoes skidded on the floor, sorry!
I’m sorry
I’m sorry
I wish I wasn’t sorry
But, I’m sorry
I’m sorry, so sorry
No matter what I do
One mistake or two
Apology, I spew
You say none are due
It doesn’t matter too
I take up too much space, I’m sorry
Can’t control my face, I’m sorry
Want to enter this place, I’m sorry
Trying to win this race, I’m sorry
I know I need to stop
But it’s not so easy
‘Cause if I don’t, I’m rude
If I do, I’m weak
I’m sorry
I’m sorry
I wish I wasn’t sorry
But, I’m sorry
So sorry
No matter what I do
One mistake or two
Apology, I spew
You say none are due
It doesn’t matter too
I don’t know why I apologize
I don’t know why I care
I don’t know why I empathize
I don’t know why you don’t
No matter what I do
One mistake or two
Apology, I spew
You say none are due
Doesn’t matter to
Me
I’m sorry.
