“Sorry Not Sorry” is a song about not feeling remorse for hurting someone after they hurt you. The band teased the track by posting a snippet to social media the week before Unbreakable’s release.
[Intro]
(I'm sorry, I'm not sorry)
[Verse 1]
Sorry for the time I've wasted
Sorry for believing all the lies
I've let this go on for too long
I've kept this alive when I should have let us die
[Pre-Chorus]
Sorry that I hurt you
I'm sorry but that's a lie
The truth is I don't care
If you're hurt or not for the tears you've made me cry
If you want to live, you gotta let love die
[Chorus]
I'm not sorry now
'Cause forgiveness isn't right
I can't apologize
'Cause I don't mean it this time
So save your breath, I know it's cruel
But I'm not the mercy type
This is what walking away looks like
[Verse 2]
Burn down every bridge I built you
Buried all the promises alive
Learning how to forget you
Now I know why sometimes there's good in goodbye
[Pre-Chorus]
Sorry that I hurt you
I'm sorry but that's a lie
The truth is I don't care
If you're hurt or not for the tears you've made me cry
If you want to live, you gotta let love die
[Chorus]
I'm not sorry now
'Cause forgiveness is your right
I can't apologize
'Cause I don't meant it this time
So save your breath, I know it's cruel
But I'm not the mercy type
This is what walking away looks like
[Bridge]
If you want to live, you gotta let love die
If you want to live, you gotta let love die
[Chorus]
I'm not sorry now
'Cause forgiveness isn't right
I can't apologize
'Cause I don't meant it this time
So save your breath, I know it's cruel
But I'm not the mercy type
This is what walking away looks like
[Outro]
I'm sorry, I'm not sorry
I'm sorry, I'm not sorry
