Justin Bieber – Sorry lyrics
[Verse 1]
You gotta go and get angry at all of my honesty,
You know I try but I don't do too well with apologies.
I hope I don't run out of time, could someone call a referee?
Cause I just need one more shot at forgiveness.
I know you know that I made those mistakes maybe once or twice,
By once or twice I mean maybe a couple a hundred times.
So let me, oh let me redeem, oh redeem, oh myself tonight,
Cause I just need one more shot at second chances.

[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, is it too late now to say sorry?
Cause I'm missing more than just your body.
Is it too late now to say sorry?
Yeah I know that I let you down,
Is it too late to say I'm sorry now?

[Chorus]
I'm sorry, yeah,
Sorry, yeah,
Sorry.
Yeah I know that I let you down,
Is it too late to say I'm sorry now?

[Verse 2]
I'll take every single piece of the blame if you want me to,
But you know that there is no innocent one in this game for two.
I'll go, I'll go and then you go, you go out and spill the truth,
Can we both say the words and forget this?

[Pre-Chorus]
Is it too late now to say sorry?
Cause I'm missing more than just your body.
Is it too late now to say sorry?
Yeah I know that I let you down,
Is it too late to say I'm sorry now?

[Bridge]
I'm not just trying to get you back on me (oh, no, no),
Cause I'm missing more than just your body, your body!.
Is it too late now to say sorry?
Yeah I know that I let you down,
Is it too late to say I'm sorry now?

[Chorus]
I'm sorry, yeah,
Sorry, oh,
Sorry.
Yeah, I know that I let you down,
Is it too late to say I'm sorry now?
I'm sorry, yeah,
Sorry, oh,
Sorry.
Yeah, I know that I let you down,
Is it too late to say I'm sorry now?

    It's pretty self-explanatory! He really wants her (a girl) to understand he's sorry for repeating the same mistake over and over again. He clearly doesn't know what to do but say sorry knowing that he keeps on doing this to her. He misses her, like yayabby said not just physically. He wonders if she can forgive him one more time.

    This song is pretty self-explanatory. He is sorry that he messed up so many times, but he's saying all the blame can't be put on him. He misses more than just the physical aspect her, but her as a whole and wants to know if he can have another chance.

    No person lived without wrongs and mistakes, absolutely we are not perfect, the song wants to tell us to let someone a second chance or many chances to let him/her change, even you are tired giving him many chances. And plus, Forgiveness is the best option to be happy. That's all folks.

    This song just confuses me big time. So, in his recent album, "Purpose", there is a song called "Sorry". And it is about Justin trying to apologize to a girl (I know it's Selena Gomez) and trying to get her back with him. That's totally normal. Whatever. Then, there's the song "Love Yourself", also about a girl (I know it's Selena Gomez) who he DOES NOT nor will ever care about again. The song is telling the girl to stop calling his phone and to go love yourself, because I don't anymore. It also mentions how his mama never liked her, but his mama liked everyone else. These two songs, most likely both about Selena, are exact opposites! Which one, do you want her back or do you hate her? I just realized these two song meanings, and I am mucho grande confused. I still love you Justin, but you confuse me. Talk about an on again off again relationship!

    What did someone say is twelve. Haha. That is so wrong on so many different levels. I mean hello. He is twenty one years old. Plus this was just a catchy song. He was not saying sorry to anyone. And are you kidding me he is not gay just follow on social media. He points out a female instagram model all the time.

    Okay, so. This song is by Ed Sheeren. It honestly has no meaning for Justin Bieber, ya'll are just making up random stuff. Ed Sheeran wrote it, Justin Bieber only sings it, Justin Bieber doesn't relate with the lyrics are all. Please do research, instead of acting like you know it all!

    This song is based on Selena Gomez. Justin Bieber is apologizing her and saying that he knows that he has made these mistakes once or twice. His feelings in this statement are apologetic as he wants to receive the forgiveness from Selena. He wants to tell the world that past is past and no body cares. The real thing is to learn from your mistakes which I am quite sure he has.

    You're both wrong, she clearly had a big ol' bite of his tip and he's mad about it. He wants her to say sorry to him because she messed up big time (rush). Justin can't do anything wrong he's only 12 don't judge him. He's good at heart just too cool for her.

    Justin gay he went out with Selena and at night he would sneak out and go kiss a boy and do stuff. So this song is mainly about how Selena Gomez wants Justin to start telling to the truth and leave her along because she don't have time for no nonsense. So all three of you'll wrong and maybe need to get it right.

    What is the use of sorry if you hurt somebody. Bieber but I figured you out and you're thinking we'll be fine again, but not this time around You don't have to call anymore I won't pick up the phone. This is the last straw don't wanna hurt anymore And you can tell me that you're sorry. But I don't believe you Bieber like I did before you're not sorry, no oh looking so innocent, I might believe you if I didn't know could've loved you all my life If you hadn't left me waiting in the cold and you got your share of secrets and I'm tired of being last to know and now you're asking me to listen 'cause it's worked each time before. So yes its too late to say sorry Bieber! Break na tayo, I hate you f**k you.
