Sorry

Lyrics

[Verse 1] There's no reason good enough that matters to you I keep on not showing up, and that leaves you confused We all like to think we're not so bad But the truth is, I'm the worst you've ever had [Pre-Chorus] Pure intentions aren't so pure When you're too old to be immature Sorry means nothing if you do it again We're the good guy, we like to pretend [Chorus] I'm so sorry, sorry that you caught me So, so sorry, sorry that you found out I'm so sorry, sorry that you caught me So, so sorry, sorry that you found out [Verse 2] My mistakes keep adding up, and they all fall on you I don't take the steps to change, and that leavеs you abused We all like to think wе're not so bad But the truth is I'm the worst you've ever had [Pre-Chorus] Pure intentions aren't so pure When you're too old to be immature Sorry means nothing if you do it again We're the good guy, we like to pretend [Chorus] I'm so sorry, sorry that you caught me So, so sorry, sorry that you found out I'm so sorry, sorry that you caught me So, so sorry, sorry that you found out [Interlude] The time has no come for the nation to turn a new page A new page in Australia's history by righting the wrongs of the past And so moving forward with confidence to the future We apologise for the laws and policies of successive parliaments and governments [Chorus] I'm so sorry, sorry that you caught me So, so sorry, sorry that you found out We apologise for the removal of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children from their families and their country I'm so sorry, sorry that you caught me For their pain, suffering, and hurt of these Stolen Generations So, so sorry, sorry that you found out And for their families left behind, we say sorry I'm so sorry, sorry that you caught me To the mothers and the fathers So, so sorry, sorry that you found out The brothers and the sisters For the breaking up of families and communities I'm so sorry, sorry that you caught me We say sorry And for the indignity and degradation So, so sorry, sorry that you found out Thus, inflicted on a proud people and a proud culture We say sorry
