NNAMDI OGBONNAYA - I Sorrow lyrics

[Verse 1] You think the way that I sing and the things that I live are jarring Just for being myself, I'm sorry You wrote a Luther-­like list of my attributes you find alarming You were trying to gather an army You were trying to make me sorry [Chorus] “I'm sorry” I said it once and I'll say it more You always know what I'm running towards If I say it enough, I might feel rebuffed And forget what I'm sorry for [Verse 2] You drop scope and frown You can't find what made your eyes starry Just for being myself, I'm sorry I screwed up my sleep I can't make up for time I borrow I swear I'll be on time tomorrow Both awake and in dreams, I sorrow In my closet of covets, the hanging clothes all have bodies I'm s**ual, and I'm sorry You're my closest friend You don't trust me with your car key You don't like how I act in public You don't think I am thinking of it You don't talk when I'm loud at parties I have served your detention I walk to the board, and I'm chalking one hundred “sorry”s [Chorus] “I'm sorry” I said it once and I'll say it more You always know what I'm running towards If I say it enough, I might feel rebuffed And forget what I'm sorry for I said it once and I'll say it more You always know what I'm running towards If I say it enough, I might feel rebuffed And forget what I'm sorry for [Ending] I'm of the firm belief that the rest of a life is starting When one pries and then starts parting The ins and the outs of “sorry”
