About the Song:
Sorry Now for Me is a deeply personal ballad that captures the quiet heartbreak of growing old and facing the loss of cherished memories. With Trace Adkins–style vocals delivering each line in a low, resonant tone, the song walks through the joy of a life fully lived and the sorrow of forgetting the very moments that made it whole. It’s raw, reflective, and haunting in its honesty.
Why It Matters:
Memory loss doesn’t just take facts—it takes stories, faces, and the very fabric of who we are. This song speaks to anyone who has watched their own past slip away, or stood by a loved one fading into forgetfulness. It’s a reminder of how fragile our moments are and how deeply they matter.
Song Lyrics Sorry Now For Me
[Verse 1]
I spent my whole life livin’ it loud,
Through the sunshine and the darkest clouds.
Good days, bad days, nights I held on,
Every mile I walked made me strong.
But now I stand in this seventh decade,
A shadow falls I never thought I’d face.
It’s a simple thing, but it cuts so deep,
Forgettin’ the life I swore I’d keep.
[Chorus 1]
Oh, I’m sorry now for me, for the dreams that slipped away,
Thought I had forever, but it’s gone day by day.
I wish I could rewind, find the strength to stand tall,
But I’m sorry now for me, just watchin’ it all fall.
[Verse 2]
I reminisce on the good times we shared,
Laughter in the kitchen, love was everywhere.
But time is a thief, and it don’t play fair,
Now I look in the mirror, wonderin’ who’s there.
I chased the bright lights, thought I’d never lose,
But the years slip away like a pair of old shoes.
I should’ve held closer the things I held dear,
Now I’m left with regrets, drownin’ in my tears.
[Chorus 2]
Oh, I'm sorry now for me, for the dreams that slipped away,
Thought I had forever, but it’s gone day by day.
I wish I could rewind, find the strength to stand tall,
But I’m sorry now for me, just watchin’ it all fall.
[Bridge]
Maybe there's hope as the shadows grind,
There might still be a chance to reclaim what’s mine.
If I learn to forgive, if I open my heart,
There’s a road that leads back to a brand new start.
[Verse 3]
So I’m takin’ this moment, to make it my own,
Chasin’ the dreams that I thought were all gone.
No more lookin’ back, I’ll carry this weight,
Forgivin’ myself for the paths I forsake.
[Chorus 3]
Oh, I’m sorry now for me, for the dreams that slipped away,
Thought I had forever, but it’s gone day by day.
I wish I could rewind, find the strength to stand tall,
But I’m sorry now for me, just watchin’ it all fall.
[Outro]
But here’s to the future, I’m ready to fight,
To forge a new path, step into the light.
I won't say I’m perfect, but I’ll try to be free,
No more sorry now for me, just livin’ my dreams.
