Lyrics:

I could have been a better brother
I could have been a better son
I’m sorry for the pain I caused you
And all the worries that I gave you, Mom

Every time there was a riot
I couldn’t ever stay at home
I had to run and join the fire
You and dad said no but I had to go

You were still the best of mothers
And now I know the fear you felt for me
You told me to stay off the streets cause
You didn’t like me out there selling weed

I don't regret the things I’ve done
They made me what I am you see
I can’t apologize forever 
For everything that isn’t me

I could have been a better brother
I could have been a better friend
I hope you know how much I love you
And if you don’t I really understand

I used to be so bloody selfish
I tried to make it to the top you see
The only thing I didn’t get is
You’ve always given me the help I need

I should have been a better brother
It’s easy now to see it clear
I’m sorry that I hurt you all and
I’m sorry that I cause you all so many tears

I could apologize forever
For everything I couldn’t be
I can't apologize forever 
For everything that isn’t me

I could have been a better lover
I could have been a better man
I’m sorry that I work so much and
The fact that I never really have a plan
I’m sorry oh I’m so sorry
That it’s so hard to say this word
And even with all the things we’ve been through
Sometimes I think that I will never learn

I could have been a better lover
I could have been a better man
I’m gonna be a better father
Hell I’m doing everything I can

And I will live with this forever
With everything I couldn’t be
I can’t apologize forever 
For everything that isn’t me

I could have been a better brother
I could have been a better son
I could have been a better lover
But in the end I’m your only one

I could have been a better sister

My boyfriend he listens to this song and crying once while we’re in the car. Right now I’m really missing him. But couldn’t cuddle him anymore. In my deep down inside I’ve knew that He’ll try to do everything right. He’d asked for a chance . We’ve a lot of plans for better life together with family with friends and with me. 💔 but a chance he been asked God took it away from us. Right now he’s rest in peace up there. I’ll always keep him in my ♥️. Every time I tired his words will guide me through. If I have a chance, i hope one day We’ll see each other again. Love ♥️🥺

Lukas' words strike a deep, sensitive topic for all of us: our acknowledgement that we could have been better for our loved ones, and our regret for having fallen short of optimal. The lyrics don't sugarcoat it. They don't tell us "Well, you did your best and that's enough" because when our loved ones are at stake "our best" isn't good enough if it fails to give them what they need. But, in addition, the song also recognizes that this is how it is, and there's no changing the past. There's no use in regretting our shortcomings if it distracts us from becoming better. We're going to be better, we're doing everything we can. We could have been better, but in the end we're still the one who's loved by those closest to us.

6 years ago my brother overdosed right next to me in bed. My dad died of cancer 3 days later. And 3 years following was me destroying what was left of home from drugs and getting arrested. Overdosing multiple times in front of my own mother. Bringing pain to my other brother nearly beating him to death in drunken rage. I've been sober for 3 years mostly now. Still working on 100% sobriety. But this song came on Pandora at work and destroyed me. Thank you. I sent it to my mom and brother. That way they can know I don't want to hurt them anymore.

I could apologize forever.
For everything I couldn't be.
I can't apologize forever.
For everything that isn't me.

Man, Lukas Graham is amazing. First 7 Years, then Better Than Yourself, then Not a Damn Thing Changed, then You’re Not the Only One, and then this. Plus everything in between. These are so emotional.

[bmst]

this song makes my eyes pour like crazy, one of the best songs ever... humanity needs this.... thank you.

[garychua]

Eleven years ago I lose my twin brother on overdose, seven years later I lose my mother n I am so sorry for the trouble that I have caused. But after I listening to this song I knew everything about me is in it. Wonderful song which made me think of you mom, father, brothers and friends. 100%emotional plus motivational!

[FranziMusic]

"Everything That Isn't Me"

I could have been a better brother
I could have been a better son
I'm sorry for the pain I caused you
And all the worries that I gave you, mom
Every time there was a riot
I couldn't ever stay at home
I had to run and join the fire
You and dad said no, but I had to go

You were still the best of mothers
And now I know the fear you felt for me
You told me to stay off the streets 'cause
You didn't like me out there selling weed
I don't regret the things I've done
They made me what I am, you see
I can't apologize forever
For everything that isn't me

I could have been a better brother
I could have been a better friend
I hope you know how much I love you
And if you don't, I really understand
I used to be so bloody selfish
I tried to make it to the top, you see
The only thing I didn't get is
You've always given me the help I need

I should have been a better brother
It's easy now to see it clear
I'm sorry that I hurt you all and
I'm sorry that I cause you all so many tears
I could apologize forever
For everything I couldn't be
I can't apologize forever
For everything that isn't me

I could have been a better lover
I could have been a better man
I'm sorry that I work so much and
The fact that I never really have a plan
I'm sorry, oh, I'm so sorry
That it's so hard to say this word
And even with all the things we've been through
Sometimes I think that I will never learn

I could have been a better lover
I could have been a better man
I'm gonna be a better father
Hell, I'm doing everything I can
And I will live with this forever
With everything I couldn't be
I can't apologize forever
For everything that isn't me

I could have been a better brother
I could have been a better son
I could have been a better lover
But in the end, I'm your only one
