Verse 1
I never meant to read your name
Like it was written in my chest
I swear I didn’t go looking
But the truth don’t let you rest
I know you think it’s simple
Black and white, a line he crossed
But loving him was never easy
It came with weight, it came with cost
Pre-Chorus
So if your hands are shaking
If your heart’s about to break
I won’t pretend I don’t feel it
I won’t lie just to feel safe
Chorus
I’m sorry I fell in love with him
I didn’t plan to hurt you too
I know how dangerous his smile is
I know what his words can do
If you’re bleeding, I believe you
I won’t say it doesn’t sting
But now that I’ve felt his touch
I’ll fight for him—anything
Verse 2
You don’t know me, but I know you
Every trace, every sign
Every moment he went missing
I was filling in the lines
You see a powerful man
I see the cracks beneath his skin
Still somehow when he says my name
I’d choose that hurt again
Pre-Chorus
So don’t think I’m unfeeling
Or blind to what this is
I just can’t pretend my heart
Didn’t make a choice like this
Chorus
I’m sorry I fell in love with him
I didn’t plan to take your place
I know he leaves a trail of fire
In every heart he breaks
If you’re angry, I get it
If you hate me, that’s okay
But now that I’ve felt his love
I’m not walking away
Bridge
Maybe we’re both collateral
In a war he never named
Two women loving the same man
Both believing we’re to blame
I won’t call you weak
I won’t call myself strong
I just know what I feel
And I’ve felt it too long
Breakdown (soft)
I’m sorry…
That it’s come to this
I’m sorry…
Love don’t ask permission
Final Chorus
I’m sorry I fell in love with him
But I won’t apologize for staying
I know the risk, I know the cost
I know exactly what I’m claiming
If loving him means losing
Every piece of who I was
Then I’ll stand here and fight
Till the end of death for us
Outro
So if you ever hear this song
Know I meant every word I said
I’m sorry I fell in love with him
But I love him… till the end
