Chorus Meaning:
Even with all the guilt and sadness, the singer can’t stop saying they love the other person. That phrase becomes a habit, repeated like a quiet whisper to themselves, almost like a comforting chant. At the same time, they keep apologizing, feeling sorry even for saying it late. Despite the shame of waiting, they hold onto a tiny hope that maybe the person will come back tomorrow.
