I’m Sorry Lyrics

[Chorus: Tom DeLonge]
Don't bide your time 'cause it is almost over
And I know you're down, I'll see you around
And I know it hurts, but you're just getting older

And I know you'll win, you'll do it once again

[Verse 1: Tom DeLonge]
Just yesterday, it always seemed like such a dream
We're unstoppable, indestructible, nothing happens to our machine
And there's no harm, at least nothing we can see
As for you, not so true
You couldn't choose where his road would lead

[Verse 2: Tom DeLonge]
What a loss, you just lost all your sleep
And we've always thought that this could never happen
You see that it's so hard, you gotta get up on your feet
'Cause the only way I got to say is to move on through the week

[Chorus: Tom DeLonge]
Don't bide your time 'cause it is almost over
And I know you're down, I'll see you around
And I know it hurts, but you're just getting older
And I know you'll win, you'll do it once again

[Bridge: Mark Hoppus, Tom DeLonge]
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry (what's happened to you?)
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry (what's happened to you?)
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry (what's happened to you?)
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry (what's happened to you?)


[Chorus: Tom DeLonge]
Don't bide your time 'cause it is almost over
And I know you're down, I'll see you around
And I know it hurts, but you're just getting older
And I know you'll win, you'll do it once again

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

This song bio is unreviewed
Genius Annotation

I’m Sorry is the second longest track that Blink-182 has ever made, with a 5:38 length. The longest is I’m Lost Without You from their self-titled album with a 6:21 length.

The song technically ends at 4:27, but the last 1:11 of the track is a hidden skit, similar to what they did with their last song on their last album (Depends from Cheshire Cat).

The skit features Mark pissing in a bowl, and then apparently giving that to a dog in a water bowl, as opposed to giving the dog actual water.
