LYRICS:
It’s too late to get the past back
But I’m stuck in the sandtraps
And I thought that I was past that
My eyelids live in a flashback
And I can’t heal your trauma
I even said sorry to your mama
But am I the type
The type of man that I want for my daughters?
Don’t lose me now
Hold my hand like the first time outside my house
When life was just a couple miles
Me and you, the world was ours
I never meant to steal your smile
Fill your heart with fear and doubt
I rerun those empty vows
I play the tape and I watch for hours
I won’t give up on you
If you won’t give up on we
I can’t live without you
I hope that you feel the same about me
And I feel lost, I feel safe, all at once
And I’m so tired, feel so angry at the world
Oh, oh
Do the best I can and when I mess it up
I say “I’m sorry”
Oh, oh
When I lose control and make you feel so bad
I say “I’m sorry”
I made a list of all the reasons why I think that you should stay
And at the top I said, “I promise I’ll get better someday,” yeah
But all these Sundays turn to Mondays
Empty promises grow cold
What if someday turns to one day
You get sick of me and go
I won’t give up on you
If you won’t give up on we
I can’t live without you
I hope that you feel the same about me
And I feel lost, I feel safe, all at once
And I’m so tired, feel so angry at the world
Oh, oh
Do the best I can and when I mess it up
I say “I’m sorry”
Oh, oh
When I lose control and make you feel so bad
I say “I’m sorry”
Oh, oh
Do the best I can and when I mess it up
I say “I’m sorry”
Oh, oh
When I lose control and make you feel so bad
I say “I’m sorry”
I love you Livingston!!
Album is a perfect album for ppl struggling with depression, addiction, you know… all the things we got going.
True! Also for people who have been through any real hardship in our life.
Ma mannnnnnnnn
Completely agree with you. Mackelmore did something different and extra here.. all the songs are from the heart and so good .
Agreed. Mack for Life
If you read the Qur’an, your heart will be at ease and you will not enter into the cycle of addiction at all, no matter what it is
Well done getting Livingston onto this song. Together you have a great hit!
Mack idk if you read these, but your music is so helpful and encouraging. I relate to vulnerability and honesty, and your music makes me feel things that most music today doesn’t. So, thank you.
Mack should release a video with Livingston for this song.
9 months later and I'm still hoping 😂
Thanks for always giving us hope, and for always standing up for what’s right! ✊🏽 Macklemore all day everyday 🔥🔥🔥👏🏽
Obsessed!
Brought me to tears... Gonna share with my kids.
@Macklemore I love you and your music!! You are the man for me
My new favorite song so relatable
Great collaboration with Livingston!!❤❤❤
My boy livingston on this to just meet him at Cleveland to awesome guy
Absolutely beautiful I've probably listened to this song 100 times by now and i still cry everytime. Makes me feel so connected to the loved ones in my life. Even though we've all made mistakes there are still people that make life worthwhile and make us strive to do better.
MACKLEMORE is a huge inspiration to me and I WILL produce a song for him one day.
WE GET IT MAN
This song I play to my husband… not sure what to say anymore , but hopefully in some sense he can understand
My favorite duo ❤
No way you got Livingston on a song!!!
mack the best indie hip-hop artist, can I say that
I so love this song!! I know I have felt this many a time!
Chills 🩵🩵🩵
This song makes me think of my daughter. We aren’t together right now but I’m trying so hard to get back to being with her.
You will be will your daughter I will have you in my prayers
You are stronger than you think!😀😀
We are praying for you!!❤
A feel ye bro
Ditto. It's rough.
Sometimes all you need is time to process all you have been trough and embrace the Future. It's a great Song
This exactly where I am in life. For the first time in forever I'm hopeful for the future. I'm also trying to process and deal with the trauma of what I've been through.
❤❤❤
Just beautiful, nothing else❤
After the the music of SORRY. I think this song will be used in Tiktok trends(4.03.2023)
Lyrics that actually mean something.👌
Wow, I will learn the lyrics to sing it ALL DAY!!! Thanks, you made my YEAR with all your new releases!!!
So simple ...so powerful
Best wishes, you know what, it's awesome Ben, all of everything 💕, what you do is how much with just love that's in us all, it's amazing to me how truly beautiful God's will can run through, and just be! Just in case I missed time, up inside my thoughts the house will always be, thankful for all allowing these words from energy, vibes from the hurt, something , well sorry, no idea how much influence a thought can be, nevermind a thousand. Hopefully I can help myself out of this beautiful derailment for more to flourish, one day at a time yet hopefully sooner.
Mack is back..maybe my best track ❤
