The Apology Came First

STUDIO

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━T H E A P O L O G Y C A M E F I R S T━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ This song started with a thought I couldn’t really shake: you received an apology, then discovered it had been written before the thing they were apologising for had even happened? The breakup hurts. The timestamp changes everything. Produced and Written by DJ X / classyissue Made with Suno Studio: https://suno.com/studio?project_version_id=9a24049f-e19c-40aa-9d87-9f35d0dbe47b ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Friday, 11:43 Your message lit the room Four paragraphs without a typo Your half of the wardrobe empty My answer to the offer Still open in another tab Thank you, but I have to decline You were there when I sent that You wrote, You deserve more than this I don’t know how to stay I never wanted you to give up Anything because of me You answered every question Before I knew what I would ask I read it like you wrote it after I didn’t think to check the date You were leaning on the counter When I asked you one last time Do I take it Do I stay here You said, Stay I pressed decline You watched me choose you With your answer in your hands You let the clock run out Like we still had a chance I thought Friday was the moment You decided we were done I thought the goodbye came first Then you found the words to say Wednesday, you made dinner Asked if I’d miss this place Said the rent would cost me double Said I’d hate the change At 11:58 Thursday You sat beside me on the floor Watched me type, Thank you for the offer But I won’t be moving after all You kissed me like we’d settled it Put that same old show on By breakfast there were boxes And half your clothes were gone I opened up the message details I only meant to check the time Created Tuesday, 9:14 Modified Friday, 11:39 I didn’t read the rest The apology came first Before the question in the kitchen Before you told me stay Before I sent them my decision You watched me choose you After you had chosen to go Friday wasn’t when you left me It was when you let me know I never wanted you to give Anything up for me You wrote that Tuesday night Then watched me turn it down Thursday You didn’t write that Friday After everything went bad You had the whole apology Waiting in your drafts You were already sorry You just hadn’t hurt me yet The apology came first Then you asked me to stay Then I turned down the offer Then you walked away You watched me choose you After you had chosen to go Friday wasn’t when you left me It was when you let me know I could have handled you leaving You just made sure I stayed first The apology came first That’s the part I can’t forgive You were already sorry You just hadn’t hurt me yet Created Tuesday Sent Friday ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
