[Verse 1 — whispered, restrained] I walk in like I’m trespassing Keep my eyes down, fake relaxing Talk in low tones, pick my words Like one wrong move might make it worse You smile, but it cuts too thin Like I’m a favor you regret letting in I breathe like I’m stealing air You don’t see me — Don’t even care [Pre-Chorus — tension building] I learned how to vanish without a sound But it’s getting loud in my head now [Chorus — controlled intensity] I’m sorry for the weight I leave The quiet war inside of me For every second I take up space Like I’m a burden you can’t erase I’m sorry for the cracks you see For needing something desperately For being too much and never enough I’m sorry Sorry for existing [Verse 2 — slightly louder, bitter edge] I laugh, and your silence kills it dead Now I rewind every word I said You say “you’re fine” with that same dead stare Yeah — you don’t say it, but it’s always there I get it — I ruin the mood Just by showing up, just by being true I never asked for all your grace But I can’t keep losing just to stay in place [Pre-Chorus — voice cracking] I’m not your ghost, I’m not your weight But damn, it’s hard to walk away [Chorus — louder, angrier] I’m sorry for the mess I make For every breath that I can’t fake For when I break and let it show God knows I tried to let it go I’m sorry if I bring you down If all I do is drag you around I know I’m not who you wanna see So I’m sorry Sorry for existing [Bridge — screamed or emotionally raw] Would it be better if I left? Would you finally catch your breath? Tell me — Is it me you hate, Or just the pieces I can’t reshape? [Final Chorus — full vocal eruption] I’m sorry for who I became For every time I said your name For needing love and not your shame For all this fire I couldn’t tame I’m sorry for the scars you see But I can’t keep erasing me I’m done pretending this is peace So I’m sorry Sorry for existing Sorry for being me [Outro — quiet again, like collapse] …Sorry. Just… sorry.
