No matter what happens Remember. No Apologies, No second choice, no regrets

[Verse 1] They said “tone it down,” I turned it up Said “play nice,” I broke the cup I learned real quick the world don’t bend So I stopped asking it to pretend I’ve been the wrong tone in the quiet room The too-bright spark they tried to exhume But I’ve buried enough of myself to know— You lose your soul when you aim too low [Pre-Chorus] They wanted soft, I gave them steel They wanted masks, I gave them real If I don’t fit, then let me burn But I won’t crawl just to return [Chorus] No matter what happens—remember No apologies, no second choice If you speak, then raise your voice If they win, don’t beg to stay Turn your back and walk away No matter what they call your name Don’t dilute your blood with shame Let the scars become your threats— No apologies, no regrets [Verse 2] I’ve worn the weight of “almost right” Tried fitting in till I lost the fight Gave them answers, gave them grace They still turned away from my face So I wrote this oath in midnight ink To never soften just so they think That I’m palatable, safe, or sweet— I’d rather fall than be discreet [Pre-Chorus 2] They’ll call it pride, they’ll call it sin But don’t let them frame where you begin You weren’t built for second place So don’t erase a single trace [Chorus 2 – Louder, Firmer] No matter what happens—remember No second guess, no turning back Stand your ground when the world attacks Don’t let comfort dull your spark You weren’t meant to die in the dark No matter how the story ends Be your truth and not their trend Let your silence break their bets— No apologies, no regrets [Bridge – Spoken, Steady, Real] If they ask you to shrink, grow louder If they ask you to bend, stand harder If they ask you to explain, just smile They knew what you were from the start And if you lose everything? Good. You’ll finally know what was real [Final Chorus – Slow, Commanding] No matter what happens—remember No apologies, no second choice Speak your name like it’s your voice No edits. No reruns. No masks worn thin Just you—again and again and again No matter who turns away next You owe the world your full unrest So write your name in the sunset’s debt— No apologies No second choice No regrets [Reprise – “The Last Word”] [Spoken] So if you're waiting on me to say sorry— for the noise, for the mess, for being too loud, too much, too weird, too proud... Keep waiting. [Sung – Soft, Barely Above a Whisper] I didn’t come this far to shrink Didn’t break this much to blink I’m not the echo, I’m the sound Not the footnote, I’m the crown [Spoken] No edits. No do-overs. No mask left. [Final Line – Half-Sung, Half-Spoken, Fading Out] No apologies. No second choice. No regrets.
