Name: Sorry (explicit content)
Duration: P00H03M18S
Description: Every girl band needs a good, snarky, men-are-shits kind of song. Halliday wrote this for her band after being challenged by another songwriter in a workshop to write a song entirely in passive aggressive voice. As the song demonstrates, if someone says they’re ‘sorry’, it may be the farthest thing from what they mean.

lyrics

V1-I'm sorry that I'm happy alone,
I don't need to run when you call my phone;
I'm sorry for nothing at all
that your pissed as hell I'm having it all;
I'm sorry that you were a shit, no surprises there.
It must be hard to admit that I no longer care.

V2-Well I'm sorry that you're all alone
and you want me back now that I am gone.
I'm sorry I have no regrets
and you haven't heard the best of it yet.
I'm sorry-well that isn't true-
Ive never been happier since I left you.
I'm sorry, it sounds so absurd,
But you lied to me with every single word.

Br-Why is it always so,
the words some people use are so hollow?
Like the time you once said,
without me you'd be better off dead.

V 3-I'm sorry but its a matter of fact,
I've moved along and I'm not looking back;
I'm sorry but just to be clear
I'm doing great without you here;
I'm sorry I've said all I can
now I'm looking for the right kind of man;
I'd wish you well but I'd rather not lie-
its okay with me if you crawled off to die.
