Sorry Seems Missing

V5.5

Verse 1 Funny how the words keep coming, Explanations by the mile, Reasons, stories, justifications, Wrapped up neatly with a smile. Plenty said about what happened, Who was wrong and who was right, But somewhere in the conversation, Sorry seems missing tonight. Pre-Chorus It isn’t such a complicated word, No grand speech you have to make, Just owning what was yours to own, And recognising what you break. Chorus Sorry seems missing, Somewhere between pride and blame, Everybody has a reason, Everybody has a name. You can rewrite every moment, Make the story fit just right, But when two little words could heal it, Sorry seems missing tonight. Verse 2 “I’m sorry that you took it wrong…” Well, that’s not quite the same. “I’m sorry, but you made me…” There goes responsibility again. An apology with conditions Is an excuse dressed up polite, And everything that follows but Can make the sorry lose its light. Pre-Chorus You don’t have to lose your dignity To admit you caused some pain. Being wrong won’t make you smaller, But denying it might just remain. Chorus Sorry seems missing, Somewhere between pride and blame, Everybody has a reason, Everybody has a name. You can rewrite every moment, Make the story fit just right, But when two little words could heal it, Sorry seems missing tonight. Bridge Sorry doesn’t buy forgiveness. It doesn’t turn back time. It doesn’t mean the other heart Must welcome you back inside. It’s simply saying, “That was mine. I see the hurt I put you through.” No bargain and no guarantee— Just something honest you can do. Breakdown Maybe that’s what makes it harder: No reward waiting at the end. Sometimes sorry doesn’t fix it. Sometimes sorry doesn’t mend. But accountability was never About what you get in return. Sometimes owning what you’ve broken Is simply how we learn. Final Verse I stopped waiting at the doorway For the words you couldn’t find. I don’t need your explanation To leave yesterday behind. Maybe one day you’ll discover What those two small words can do, But sorry stopped being something I needed to hear from you. Final Chorus Sorry was missing, Somewhere between pride and blame. You could rewrite every moment, I don’t need to do the same. I can leave the door behind me, I can walk toward something new. Sorry may still be missing— But I’m no longer waiting for you. Outro Two little words. So simple to say. But when they never come… You learn to walk away.
