Lyrics of I Love You, I'm Sorry by Gracie Abrams
verse
Two Augusts ago, I told the truth
Oh, but you didn′t like it, you went home
You're in your Benz, I′m by the gate
Now you go alone, charm all the people you train for
You mean well, but aim low
And I'll make it known, like I'm getting paid
chorus
That′s just the way life goes
I like to slam doors closed
Trust me, I know it′s always about me
I love you, I'm sorry
verse
Two summers from now, we′ll have been talking
But not all that often, we're cool now
I′ll be on a boat, you're on a plane
Going somewhere, same
And I′ll have a drink, wistfully lean out my window
And watch the sun set on the lake
I might not feel real, but it's okay, mm
chorus
'Cause that′s just the way life goes
I push my luck, it shows
Thankful you don′t send someone to kill me
I love you, I'm sorry
bridge
You were the best, but you were the worst
As sick as it sounds, I loved you first
I was a dick, it is what it is
A habit to kick, the age-old curse
I tend to laugh whenever I′m sad
I stare at the crash, it actually works
Making amends, this shit never ends
I'm wrong again, wrong again
chorus
The way life goes
Joyriding down our road (down our road)
Lay on the horn to prove that it haunts me (to prove that I′m haunted)
I love you, I'm sorry
outro
The way life goes (you were the best, but you were the worst)
(As sick as it sounds, I loved you first)
I wanna speak in code (I was a dick, it is what it is)
(A habit to kick, the age-old curse)
Hope that I don′t, won't (I tend to laugh whenever I'm sad)
Make it about me (I stare at the crash, it actually works)
I love you, I′m sorry
