Feeling Sorry

Paramore · Brand New Eyes [2009]

We still live the same town, well don't we?

But I don't see you around anymore.

I go to all the same places

Not even a trace of you.

Your days are numbered at 24.



And I'm getting bored waiting 'round for you.

We're not getting any younger.

And I won't look back 'cause there's no use.

Its time to move forward.



I feel no sympathy.

You live inside a cave

You barely get by, the rest of us are trying

There's no need to apologize

I've got no time for feeling sorry.



Well I try not to think of what might happen.

When your reality it finally cuts through.

Well as for me I got out and I'm on the road.

The worst part is that this, this could be you.



You know it too.

You can't run from your shame.

You're not getting any younger.

Time keeps passing by

but you wave it away.

Its time to roll over.



I feel no sympathy.

You live inside a cave.

You barely get by, the rest of us are trying.

There's no need to apologize

I've got no time for feeling sorry.



All the best lies

they are told with fingers tied.

So cross them tight.

Won't you promise me tonight.

If its the last thing you do

you'll get out.



I feel no sympathy.

You live inside a cave.

You barely get by, the rest of us are trying.

There's no need to apologize

I've got no time, I've got no time.



I feel no sympathy.

You live inside a cave.

You barely get by, the rest of us are trying.

There's no need to apologize

I've got no time.

I've got no time for feeling sorry.



I've got no time for feeling sorry.

Feeling Sorry - Paramore

Released on the 2009 album Brand New Eyes, "Feeling Sorry" stands as a defining track in Paramore's evolution from pop-punk to alternative rock. Written by Hayley Williams, the song explores themes of regret and emotional vulnerability, marking a significant shift in the band's sonic landscape during this pivotal era. The recording features a stripped-back arrangement that highlights Williams' vocal range and lyrical depth, distinguishing it from the band's earlier high-energy output. As a cornerstone of their discography, the track reflects the group's growing maturity and willingness to tackle introspective subjects, cementing its place in their catalog alongside other notable releases from the period.
