The meaning of "Sorry"

Song: Illegal
by: Shakira


Who would have thought
That you could hurt me
The way you've done it?
So deliberate, so determined

And since you have been gone
I bite my nails for days and hours
And question my own questions on and on

So tell me now, tell me now
Why you're so far away
When I'm still so close

You don't even know the meaning of the words "I'm sorry"
You said you would love me until you die
And as far as I know you're still alive, baby
You don't even know the meaning of the words "I'm sorry"
I'm starting to believe it should be illegal to deceive a woman's heart

I tried so hard to be attentive
To all you wanted
Always supportive, always patient
What did I do wrong?
I'm wondering for days and hours
It's clear, it isn't here where you belong

Anyhow, anyhow
I wish you both all the best
I hope you get along

But you don't even know the meaning of the words "I'm sorry"
You said you would love me until you die
And as far as I know you're still alive, baby
You don't even know the meaning of the words "I'm sorry"
I'm starting to believe it should be illegal to deceive a woman's heart

You don't even know the meaning of the words "I'm sorry"
You said you would love me until you die
And as far as I know you're still alive, baby
You don't even know the meaning of the words "I'm sorry"
I'm starting to believe it should be illegal to deceive a woman's heart

Open heart
Open heart
It should be illegal to deceive a woman's heart

Open heart
Open heart

Often times we say sorry in our life, but how many times do we actually mean it? It's not only in the context of loving someone, but in our daily life. We are used to say "I'm sorry" so easily, but we only do it because it is a habit we were taught since earlier day, to say sorry when we are wrong.

But once again, how often we're saying these words with meaning it truly? I'm trying to figure it out myself, because I'm also human. I also often time saying those kind of words just for the sake of saying it, without really meaning it. Most of the times is because I don't know where I've done wrong, but also some other times are because I don't wanna admit I'm at wrong.

Selfish, isn't it? But we, human, is a selfish being. And even though I'm supposed to be ashamed for that, but at the same time, I am also proud that I can admit that. Why? Because people often try to deny what they are actually. And for me, by admiting my weakness, I gain more strenght in life.

Hearing the song "Illegal" sang by Shakira, makes me thinking a lot of things, including the word "sorry". And it makes me want to make the word itself worth in my life by not using it without any feeling of regret. Naive, it may seem. But I wonder, what the world will like if everyone can have that kind of conscience...

Well, I think that's all from me for today. Till the next post.

Ciao~
