Analysis of Sorry
I’m sorry for all the things I can’t undo
I’m sorry for all the things I can’t unsay
I’m sorry for all the things I can’t unsee
I’m sorry that I hurt you
I’m sorry that I can’t help you
I’m sorry that I pushed you
I’m sorry that I tripped on the sidewalk in front of your friends
I’m sorry that you had to retie my bracelet three times yesterday when you were trying to work
I’m sorry that the dog escaped the front yard and you had to find it at 10 pm
I’m sorry that I’m a mess that you have to clean up
I’m sorry that I’m broken and you have to sweep up my scattered pieces
I’m sorry
I’m sorry
I’m sorry
