[Verse 1] Sorry seems to be such a difficult word. People act like their pride depends on whether they’re right or wrong. I’ve never understood why. To me, “sorry” is just taking responsibility. If you hurt someone, if you made a mistake, you own it and apologize. I’ve never thought saying sorry was hard. [Pre-Chorus] Except to one person. Myself. [Chorus] I’ll never forgive myself for staying silent. I’ll never forgive myself for giving up on me. I’ll never forgive myself for believing I deserved it. [Verse 2] I know it sounds harsh. People tell me I should just accept that it is what it is. I already know that. I know I can’t change the past or the choices I made back then. But that doesn’t make it okay. I’m the person I should love the most. The person I should respect the most. Without me, there is no me. Yet I still can’t say those words. [Chorus] I’ll never forgive myself. I’ll never say those words I’ll never forgive myself for every door I closed. I’ll never forgive myself for every dream I buried. I’ll never forgive myself for forgetting who I was. [Bridge] I want to forgive. I want to apologize. But I can’t. Not to myself. Not today. Maybe someday. But not today. [Final Chorus] I’ll never forgive myself for shrinking to survive. I’ll never forgive myself for making myself so small. I’ll never forgive myself for calling that living. Oooh… Oooh… Oooh… [Outro] I’ll never forgive myself for not fighting back. I’ll never forgive myself for letting people walk all over me. I’ll never forgive myself for every scar on my body. I’ll never forgive myself for spending so many years hating every part of myself until it became the only way I knew how to see myself.
