[Intro]
yeah...
there it is again
You don't even hear it anymore
do you...?
[Verse 1]
You bite your tongue when somebody cuts you off
Let it slide like it never got under your skin
(again...)
Smile so nobody asks questions
Then disappear into the background again
And I watch you make yourself smaller
Like taking up space is a dangerous thing
(every time...)
Like you've spent so long trying not to be a problem
You don't know you're doing it
[Pre-Chorus]
And before anybody says a word
You say sorry
(there it is...)
[Chorus]
You always say sorry
Before anybody asks you to
Like you're carrying something heavy
That doesn't belong to you
(not yours...)
You always say sorry
Like it's safer than being seen
And I don't think you even notice
What that sounds like to me
[Verse 2]
You wear your hurt like nobody can see it
Hide it underneath another joke
(I know...)
Take every blame that gets thrown in your direction
Like carrying it somehow keeps the peace
And every time somebody lets you down
You find a reason it was your fault
(not your fault...)
Like that's easier
Than being angry at all
[Pre-Chorus]
And before anybody says a word
You say sorry
(yeah...)
[Chorus]
You always say sorry
Before there's anything to forgive
Like you're waiting for permission
Just to be the way you are
You always say sorry
Even when you've done nothing wrong
And every time I hear it
Something in me catches on
[Bridge]
Maybe it got written into you
Little by little
Maybe nobody meant for it to stay
But it did
And every time I hear it now
I wonder who taught you that
[Breakdown]
Cause it wasn't your fault
(not your fault...)
It wasn't your fault
[Final Chorus]
You always say sorry
Before anybody asks you to
Like you're carrying old shadows
You were never meant to keep
You always say sorry
And I wish you didn't have to
Cause some things were never yours to hold
No matter who told you
[Outro]
yeah...
You don't even notice anymore
But I do
(I'm still here...)
Beexii
