I want to apologize For looking in your eyes And thinking there was something there That you could recognize You said my name so soft Like it meant more than it did And I believed the version That you were letting me live We were good in certain lights In the kind that feels like truth But I didn’t see the edges Of everything you’d lose ⸻ Pre-Chorus I mistook your warmth for home Now I see I was alone ⸻ Chorus I want to apologize For thinking you were mine For building up a future In the space between your lies I’m sorry that I stayed When I already knew the signs I loved what I imagined Not what was there behind ⸻ Verse 2 You made it feel so easy Like I didn’t have to guess But easy turns to nothing When it starts to mean less I caught myself pretending That I didn’t see the change But silence has a way Of saying everything it won’t explain ⸻ Pre-Chorus And maybe I should’ve left The moment I felt less ⸻ Chorus I want to apologize For staying past the line For calling it a story When it was just killing time I’m sorry that I gave You space you didn’t need I loved you like a promise That you never gave to me ⸻ Bridge (dark, honest) You didn’t break me loudly You did it slow and kind Like I was disappearing And calling it just time And I hate that I still miss What I made you in my mind Not you… just the version I kept alive inside ⸻ Final Chorus I want to apologize For everything I tried For thinking you were different For not reading through the signs I’m sorry that I stayed When I should’ve walked away But I learned the hardest truth In the quietest way ⸻ Outro (soft) I want to apologize… To myself this time.
