[Verse 1]
Clock on the wall keeps calling me out
Unread texts piling
My head full of doubt
You dressed up plans
I dressed up excuses
Turning our time into tiny abuses
[Pre-Chorus]
You held the door
I held my breath
Thought I had time to clean this mess
But every minute that I waste
Carves another empty space
[Chorus]
I'm sorry for always being late
I'm sorry for all of the hate
I'm sorry for never being great
I'm sorry
I'm sorry
I'm sorry
[Verse 2]
You saved your news
I saved my pride
I laughed it off while you cried in the drive
You asked for help
I changed the subject
Been scared of the truth since the day that I loved it
[Pre-Chorus]
You drew a map
I stayed lost
I count my comfort
Not the cost
If there's a way to make this right
I’ll say it ’til it sinks inside
[Chorus]
I'm sorry for always being late
I'm sorry for all of the hate
I'm sorry for never being great
I'm sorry
I'm sorry
I'm sorry
[Bridge]
I don't want "sorry" as my name (oh)
I wanna show you I can change
So if you give me one last try
I'll be on time in your life
[Chorus]
I'm sorry for always being late
I'm sorry for all of the hate
I'm sorry for never being great
I'm sorry
I'm sorry
I'm sorry
