from a biblical point of view, I think 'i am sorry' applies when the injury/action done to the offended is just hurtful and not sinful. For instance, " I stepped on your toes and hurt you, it was not intentional though I am sorry"

However, ' forgive me' is most suitable when the root of the action/injury done is sinful; its out of selfish spiteful motive. For instance, "I am sorry I stepped on your toes, I hurt you just to get back on you, please forgive me."
