(Verse 1) Forgive me for not listening, Forgive me for not protecting you. You begged me to walk away, But I never moved. I let them break you open, I let them stain your name. Silent as the shadows, I carried all the blame. (Pre-Chorus) The violins are screaming, Through the fire in my chest. I tried to save the world, But left you powerless. (Chorus) I’m sorry for the wounds I gave, For every time I looked away. I fought for everyone but you, And now the truth is breaking through. These apologies, they fall like glass, In the mirror staring back at last… I’m sorry— I’m sorry to myself. (Verse 2) I built a wall of iron, To shield them from the night. But every brick was stolen From the pieces of my life. The violins keep weeping, Like ghosts I cannot face. I tried to be a savior, But I became erased. (Pre-Chorus) The silence cuts much deeper Than the swords I used to hold. I carried all their burdens, But left my soul to grow cold. (Chorus) I’m sorry for the wounds I gave, For every time I looked away. I fought for everyone but you, And now the truth is breaking through. These apologies, they fall like glass, In the mirror staring back at last… I’m sorry— I’m sorry to myself. (Bridge) Strings are bleeding, Drums are pounding, Voices echo in the storm. I thought I was a hero, But a hero torn and worn. (Final Chorus – Epic Climax) I’m sorry for the life I broke, For every word I left unspoken. I saved the world, but lost my flame, Now only I remain to blame. These apologies, they fall like glass, In the mirror staring back at last… I’m sorry— I’m sorry to myself.
