Guns N' Roses – Sorry lyrics
[Verse 1]
You like to hurt me, you know that you do
You like to think in some way that it's me and not you
But we know that isn't true
You like to have me jump and be good, but I don't want to do it
You don't know why I don't act the way you think I should
You thought they'd make me behave and submit, submit
What were you thinking?
'Cause I don't forget
You don't know why I won't give in
Hell with the pressure, I'm not caving in
You know that I got under your skin
You sold your soul but I won't let you win
You talk too much, you say I do
Difference is nobody cares about you

[Pre-Chorus]
You've got all the answers, you know everything
Why nobody asked you is a mystery to me

[Chorus]
I'm sorry for you, not sorry for me
You don't know who in the hell to or not to believe
I'm sorry for you, not sorry for me
You don't know who you can trust now or you should believe
You should believe
You don't know who you can trust now or you should believe

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 2]
You close your eyes, all well and good
I'll kick your ass like I said that I would
You tell them stories they'd rather believe
Use and confuse them, they're numb and naive
Truth is the truth hurts, don't you agree?
It's harder to live with the truth about you
Than to live with the lies about me

[Pre-Chorus]
Nobody owes you not one god damn thing
You know where to put your, "Just shut up and sing"

[Chorus]
I'm sorry for you, not sorry for me
You don't know who in the hell to or not to believe
I'm sorry for you, not sorry for me
You chose to hurt those that love you and won't set them free
Won't set them free
You chose to hurt those that love you and won't set them free

[Outro]
You don't need anyone else to be sorry for you
You've got no heart
You can't see all that you've done for me
I know the reasons you tear me apart

    "just shut up and sing" - I think this is a direct quote from slash, and is probably what ignited the feud.
    "you chose to hurt those that love you, and won't set them free" - this is an obvious, direct, and verbatim reference to slash. The first part, refers to slash walking out on guns n roses hurting those that loved him (the fans). The second part is an obvious reference to the first song released by velvet revolver "set me free".
    There is a 3rd party involved in this song as well - the 'fans' of g'n'are that chose to disavow the 'new' g'n'are and that felt velvet revolver was the real new g'n'are.
