“Mama, I’m so sorry I’m not sober anymore / And daddy please forgive me for the drinks spilled on the floor/And I’m sorry for the fans I lost who watched me fall again / I wanna be a role model, but I’m only human,” she sings on the track.
The 25-year-old pop star ended the track with, “I’m sorry that I’m here again / I promise I’ll get help / It wasn’t my intention / I’m sorry to myself.”
