Chicago: Hard to Say I'm Sorry Meaning
Song Released: 1982
Hard to Say I'm Sorry Lyrics
I heard her say,
“From each other.”
“Even lovers need a holiday.
Far away, from each other”
Hold me now
It's hard for me to say I'm sorry
I just want you to stay
After all that we've been through

Jan 14 anon, that's some serious projection there pal. Nothing in the lyrics says it's about cheating or coming back so you can cheat again. Seems to be more generally about a relationship that's falling apart and he wants to repair it so he's apologizing for his shortcomings and mistakes hoping its reciprocated.
-
It's about being weak and being irresponsible and being stupid and being dishonest despite the care he received from the loved one he just did not realize it not until the girl is strong and become successful. He wants a girl for what he is not.

A man who cheated wants time away to do it then come back ..nah stay gone women don’t want you after that sorry doesn’t cut it

I think this song is about a guy who made a mistake in a relationship.The girl does not want to be with the guy anymore and the guy is just trying desperately to fix their broken relationship.
-
This interpretation has been marked as poor. view anyway
-
I think he speaking to the complexity of being in a live relationship. Despite the love you have for each other, don’t smother. We all need a little vacation from each other, to kind of refresh, to miss each other so to speak, even though part of me wants to be around you all the time. So, I’m not trying to hurt you, I love you and it’s hard to apologize for being human.

Definitely a guy realising that his girl loves him unconditionally...he has been away on holiday without her and the words even lovers need a holiday far away from each other....it eases his mind as he has left her for a while for a holiday that maybe he cheated on her during. He is home to his broken girl and wants to tell her that what he has done isn't good but it happens...I get the feeling that it wont happen again and he wants her to hold him....he wants to say sorry but he cant find the words. Confusion....he wants to justify his actions but he has realised how much he missed her and how much he does actually love her. He wants to make up for his behaviour which has clearly hurt her.... .....
I've been that girl -
I think its about a guy who won't commit to a woman who loves him. I think he takes her for granted and thinks she will always be there waiting for him. When he realizes she is moving on, he sings about his regret
-
I think it’s about a man who loves a girl and he’s keeping it in and he’s sorry that she has to wait so long and where it says “hold me now” I think that’s the girl just wanting to be In his arms now and he’s sorry that she can’t be with him yet
