Sorry

Aspyn

Sorry is a word I hear a lot
Though it never really has a true meaning behind it
Sorry has no meaning if it is just the same words
Repeated every time just in a different order

They are always sorry
Sorry for upsetting me
But never sorry for the actions that upset me
The actions that affect me greater than they think

If they need me
Wanna see me
They better hurry
'Cause I'm leaving soon

Sorry can't save me now
Sorry I don't know how
Sorry there is no way out
But down

Tell my friends that I'll miss them
Tell my friends that I love them
But I'm not sorry
