# GEM3 — **“SORRY”** ### [Intro — ALL THREE | A Cappella] **GEM 1 — Alto** Before you say anything… **GEM 2 — Mezzo** I need you to hear me… **GEM 3 — Soprano** No excuses this time… **ALL THREE** I'm sorry… --- ### [Verse 1 — GEM 1 | Alto] I know I made it hard to love me Made you pay for things you never did Every time you tried to get close to me I remembered what somebody else did You was very patience me, I continued to push you away You gave true love, I questioned it And looking back, I finally see You weren't the one who wounded me But somehow, baby you were the one I made bleed --- ### [Pre-Chorus — GEM 2 | Mezzo] And I could tell you I was scared I could blame it on my past But none of that changes How I made you feel So I'm not here to defend myself I'm here to tell you what's real… --- ### [Chorus — ALL THREE] **GEM 2 — Lead** I'm sorry For every time I made you feel Like loving me was something You had to prove was real **GEM 1 — Alto** I'm sorry For the words I can't take back **GEM 3 — Soprano** For loving you with one foot out When you gave me all you had **ALL THREE** You deserved the woman I kept saying I could be So if I never said it right before… I'm sorry I'm sorry Baby, I'm sorry --- ### [Verse 2 — GEM 2 | Mezzo] I wanted you to understand me But didn't always tell what was on my mind Wanted grace for every flaw in me While finding every little fault in you Sometimes I needed to be right More than I needed us to be okay And I know “I'm sorry” can't erase Every night I pushed your love away I can't rewrite yesterday But I can own my part today --- ### [Pre-Chorus — GEM 3 | Soprano] You didn't deserve my silence When all you wanted was the truth You shouldn't have had to lose yourself Trying not to lose me too And it hurts me to admit it But that's exactly what I made you do --- ### [Chorus — ALL THREE | Bigger Harmonies] I'm sorry For every time I made you feel Like loving me was something You had to prove was real I'm sorry For the nights I turned my back For expecting you to give me What I wasn't giving back You was a good man who deserved the woman I kept promising I'd be And whether you forgive me or you don't… I'm sorry I'm sorry Baby, I'm sorry --- ### [Bridge — GEM 3 | Soprano] I'm not saying sorry Just to make you stay I'm not saying sorry So the hurt will go away You don't owe me forgiveness You don't owe me one more try I just couldn't let you leave here Believing one more lie— **GEM 1 — Alto** That you weren't enough… **GEM 2 — Mezzo** That you didn't love me enough… **GEM 3 — Soprano, rising** When the truth is… **ALL THREE — A Cappella** You loved me better Than I knew how to receive. --- ### [Breakdown — GEM 1 | Alto] So for doubting you… I'm sorry. ### [GEM 2 | Mezzo] For shutting you out… I'm sorry. ### [GEM 3 | Soprano] For making your heart Pay for somebody else's mistakes… I'm sorryyyyy… ### [ALL THREE] For every time you loved me right And I still found a reason to fight… We're sorry. --- ### [Final Chorus — ALL THREE] I'm sorry And this time there ain't no “but” No explanation after No defending what I've done I'm sorry You deserved that much from me A woman strong enough to say **I was wrong** when I was wrong And if your heart still wants me I'll love you differently But if your heart is finished I'll let you leave in peace **GEM 1 — low** Because love takes accountability… **GEM 2 — emotional** And today that starts with me… **GEM 3 — soaring** So from the deepest part of meeeee… **ALL THREE — stacked harmony** I'm sorryyyyyyyyy… --- ### [Outro — A Cappella] **GEM 1:** No excuses… **GEM 2:** No blaming you… **GEM 3:** No “sorry, but…” **ALL THREE:** Just… I'm sorry.
