a/sym-pathetic

wat does it mean when someone says they're sorry? does it simply mean that they feel bad about wat they did? or should it mean more? that, hopefully, they won't do it again? the latter, right? when someone apologizes for doing something when they have the intention of doing the same damn thing again, their being sorry doesn't mean a damn thing. and wat's more, maybe they shouldn't be apologizing in the first place. but dictionary.com defines sorry as 'feeling or expressing sympathy, pity, or regret'. which really says nothing about not repeating your actions. but regret is defined as 'a feeling of disappointment or distress about something that one wishes could be different'. ah ha! so when one says that they're sorry for something that they could have prevented and yet still intends on doing it again, then they are being insincere. cause if they wish for something to be different, and it is in their power to make it different, then they have to obligation to do so. or do they? oh the intricacies of language. an apology really should mean more tho. it's so empty otherwise. why bother to apologize if you don't intend to remedy the situation? why say sorry if you plan to simply aggravate it? i'd prefer to not get that empty gesture. i'd prefer to not to think that you care enough that you hurt me, but not enough to not hurt me. cause damnit, i pity the fool who is burdened wit false apologies and false love.

'maybe you'll be sorry' 'you came real close' 'but every time you built me up you only let me down' / 'but almost doesn’t count'
