No Apologies

Verse 1 I used to argue with my own reflection Like I owed it an explanation Every misstep held up in court By my imagination I tried to punish who I was For not knowing what I know now Like growth was something I delayed Instead of something I allowed Pre-Chorus I wasn’t wrong I was on my way You don’t shame the road For where you stayed Chorus No apologies For choosing me No more weight From who I used to be I’m not my mistakes I’m what they showed I learned the truth When I got close No apologies Verse 2 Every version kept me breathing Every choice got me here I don’t rewrite what I survived Just to make it disappear I didn’t know what love could cost Until I learned what peace could be I don’t regret the steps I took They walked me into clarity Pre-Chorus I’m not late I arrived Right on time In my life Chorus No apologies For choosing me No self-trial No guilty plea I’m not my scars I’m what they taught I stand in what I didn’t have before No apologies Bridge I forgive the past For doing its best With the tools it had In the dark, under stress You don’t beat the night For not being day You let the light Show up its way Final Chorus No apologies For who I am Not defensive Just where I stand I don’t shrink To earn relief I let compassion Set me free No apologies Outro I didn’t fail I learned I didn’t fall behind I turned No apologies
