I'm Sorry (But not sorry enough) Track 21

[Intro – slow, tense, heartbeat drums] (Gabe internal monologue, looking at Bri) [Softly] They think I’ve sold my soul tonight, That I’ve become the very thing I fight. Her eyes—flames I’ll never touch again… And I’m the villain she believes I am. [Verse 1 – quiet, remorseful] The words I said were daggers, I felt each one go through. If hate will keep her breathing, Then hate’s what I must do. I wear this mask of fury, It burns behind my eyes— But if this lie can save them, Then let my name despise. [Pre-Chorus – rising strings] Every heartbeat screams her name, Every choice ignites the flame— But I can’t break, I can’t explain, The cost of playing fate’s cruel game. [Chorus – full voice, cinematic swell] I’m sorry— Not sorry enough to stop the pain. I’m bleeding for a chance they’ll live again. I’m falling— While they curse me as I fall, But I’ll be broken if I don’t save them all. [Bridge – heavier percussion, whispered to roar] She looked at me like light turned cold, Her fire died where my secret’s told. I saw the tears I’ll never kiss, The life I’ll lose for this abyss. Neico’s chains can’t hold my vow, They’ll hate me then forgive me—somehow. This blade, this blood, this burning truth— I’m dying as I lie to you. [Chorus – repeat, higher key, grief into defiance] I’m sorry— Not sorry enough to change my role. I’ll carry every scar you stole. I’m falling— Let the world believe I’ve gone too far, I’ll break my heart to end this war. [Outro – fading, single guitar / echo of chains] If she ever asks me why, Tell her it was love that made me lie. If this is what salvation costs, Then let me be the one they’ve lost. [whispered] I’m sorry… Not sorry enough.
