SORRY lyrics by NF ft James Arthur

I crossed the line and broke an oath

Swore I would never let you go

Blamed you for things that weren't your fault, yeah

I'm sorry

Oh, I wish that I'da held you close and given you what you deserve

But that's what everybody says when it's too late to fix a bridge that's burned

That's burned

I've been waitin' by the phone just prayin' that you'd call me up

To say you wish you woulda stayed and never said goodbye to us

I'm not lookin' for a fight, baby, I just want to talk to ya

And say I'm sorry

I'm sorry

Mmm, yeah

I bent the truth and broke your trust, mmm, yeah

Treated you like you weren't enough (you were enough), ooh

Said I'd be there but never was (I never was), hmm

But I'm sorry, hmm, yeah

I'm sorry

Oh, I wish that I had held you close and given you what you deserve (I wish, I wish), hmm

But that's what everybody says when it's too late to fix a bridge that's burned (oh)

That is burned

I've been waitin' by the phone just prayin' that you'd call me up (call me up)

To say you wish you woulda stayed and never said goodbye to us (never would've said goodbye)

I'm not lookin' for a fight, baby, I just wanna talk to ya (I just want to talk to you, baby)

And say I'm sorry (I'm sorry)

Yeah, I'm sorry (yeah)

And say I'm sorry

Yeah, I'm sorry (oh, yeah)

And say I'm sorry

I'm sorry

NF — Biography

Early Life

NF, born Nathan John Feuerstein on March 30, 1991, in Gladwin, Michigan, is an American rapper, singer, songwriter, and producer. He grew up in a difficult environment; his parents divorced early in his life, and he later lived with his father due to abuse in his mother’s home. In 2009, the same year he finished high school, his mother died from a drug overdose. This loss became one of the most defining and painful themes in his music, especially reflected in the song “How Could You Leave Us.”

Music became NF’s emotional outlet, and he began recording using a simple karaoke machine, writing intensely personal lyrics to cope with trauma, anger, and confusion.

Music Career

NF’s career began with independent releases, followed by momentum that placed him on the radar of major labels.

Key releases include:

Moments (2010, early independent album under his real name)

I’m Free (2012, independent EP)

NF (2014, self-titled EP and his breakthrough into the Christian and mainstream markets)

Mansion (2015, his first official studio album, introducing his cinematic sound and deeply introspective writing)

Therapy Session (2016, raw exploration of mental health, grief, and personal battles; earned critical acclaim)

Perception (2017, mainstream breakthrough; included the international hit “Let You Down” and debuted at number one on the Billboard 200)

The Search (2019, another number one album, continuing themes of anxiety, pressure, and the pursuit of purpose)

CLOUDS (The Mixtape) (2021, a shorter project showing creative flexibility)

HOPE (2023, an album focused on healing, growth, maturity, and confronting his past)

Musical Style and Themes

NF is known for his cinematic, orchestral production style, sharp and rapid-fire rapping, and intensely honest lyrics. His themes commonly include:

Mental health, anxiety, depression

Childhood trauma and emotional pain

Fame, pressure, and internal struggle

Personal growth and healing

Identity, faith, and introspection

Although he began his career under a Christian label, NF does not label himself a “Christian rapper.” He describes himself simply as an artist who writes about life, aiming for emotional truth rather than fitting into a genre box.

What Makes NF Stand Out

NF is respected for the authenticity and emotional depth of his music. He avoids explicit content and focuses heavily on storytelling. His vulnerability, combined with cinematic production and powerful delivery, has earned him a global fanbase across both mainstream and faith-adjacent audiences.
