Sorry seems to be the hardest word - Elton John (Acoustic Cover by Vedran)

Did you know that Elton John and Bernie Taupin wrote "Sorry Seems to Be the Hardest Word" in just a few minutes? The song captures the deep pain of regret and lost love, reflecting on the moment when "sorry" is no longer enough. Taupin once said it’s about "the breakdown of a relationship" and the helplessness that follows. It remains one of Elton’s most emotional ballads, resonating with anyone who has struggled to find the right words.

A special thanks to Ibbe (TaSatti), who helped me mix and produce this cover – it wouldn’t have sounded nearly as good without his help. I’ve learned a lot during this process and I’m looking forward to the next one.

Thank you so much for taking the time to listen!

Lyrics:

What I got to do
To make you love me?
What I got to do
To make you care?
What do I do
When lightning strikes me?
And I wake to find
That you're not there?

What I got to do
To make you want me?
What I got to do
To be heard?
What do I say when it's all over, babe?
Sorry seems to be the hardest word (that's right)

It's sad, so sad
It's a sad, sad situation
And it's getting more
And more absurd

It's sad, so sad
Why can't we talk it over?
Oh, it seems to me
That sorry seems to be
The hardest word

What do I do
To make you want me?
What I got to do
To be heard?
What do I say when it's all over?
Sorry seems to be the hardest word

It's sad, so sad
It's a sad, sad situation
And it's getting more
And more absurd

It's sad, so sad
Why can't we talk it over?
Oh, it seems to me
Sorry seems to be the hardest word

What do I do
To make you love me?
What I got to do
To be heard?
What do I do
When lightning strikes me?
What have I got to do?
What have I got to do?
When sorry seems to be
The hardest word
