10 Rock Songs That Were Written As An Apology

10. I Miss You - Blink-182

It would be a walk in the park to write this entire list using only pop punk songs. Ever since the likes of Green Day and Weezer got everything started back in the '90s, there have been countless bands trying their hand at writing apology songs, usually because they did something stupid and took their significant other for granted. Some may have had more grit behind their delivery, but no one seemed to have more whine than Tom DeLonge.

That's not to say that I Miss You is just a whine-fest from beginning to end. When Blink-182 were first cutting their self titled record, tensions were really high within the group, as everyone was disagreeing about what their new direction should be. They did find common ground on some '80s aesthetics though, and this is the kind of jaded love song that almost feels like it's in the same vein as bands like the Cure from a few years back. Before you even get to Tom's verse, Mark Hoppus sets the scene for you, as if the memory of his old flame is greeting him like a ghost in his dreams.

By the time Tom comes in though, this is the apology that most pop punk bands wish they could have written to their girlfriends, talking about everything they did wrong and just hoping that she would come over for at least one more night to ease the pain. We never get to see her come back though, so it looks like Tom might just have to settle with her voice inside his HYEADDD!!!
