A Better Word Than Sorry

Verse 1

I’m sorry for the silence in your room tonight

For the empty chair that never feels right

For the echoes of a laugh that used to stay

And disappeared without a warning day

I’m sorry for the million little things

Like how their name still softly stings

Every corner holds a memory

That time refuses to set free

Pre-Chorus

And I know the world keeps turning on

Like nothing ever went wrong

Chorus

But I see you holding all that weight

Every moment comes a little too late

A billion pieces of yesterday

You carry with you anyway

And I would fix it if I could

Trade every word misunderstood

But all I have, it falls apart

Is just this broken, honest heart

Saying sorry… sorry

Verse 2

I’m sorry for the days that feel too long

For trying hard to still be strong

For every breath that feels like war

When they’re not walking through that door

I’m sorry for the things unsaid

For every tear you’ve quietly shed

For all the nights you couldn’t sleep

And all the promises you keep

Pre-Chorus

And I know it doesn’t ease the pain

Or bring them back again

Chorus

But I see you holding all that weight

Every moment comes a little too late

A billion pieces of yesterday

You carry with you anyway

And I would fix it if I could

Trade every word misunderstood

But all I have, it falls apart

Is just this broken, honest heart

Saying sorry… sorry

Bridge

There should be a word that heals the ache

Something more than hearts can make

A language built for loss this deep

For love we keep but cannot keep

If I could write it in the sky

Or sing it louder than goodbye

I’d give you more than this refrain

More than something wrapped in pain

Final Chorus (lift it up emotionally)

But I see you… and I won’t look away

Through every night and every day

All the pieces that remain

Still whisper out their name

And if there’s nothing left to say

I’ll sit with you inside the gray

Until the hurt can start to bend

And broken hearts can learn again

Outro

I’m sorry…

There isn’t more than this

I’m sorry…

But I won’t let you miss

That you’re not alone in this story
