I chased the high when the lows got too loud,
Pills in my palm, smoke up in the clouds.
Thought I was flying, but I was just falling,
Nights turned to days, I stopped returning your calls.
Mom, I missed birthdays, left you waiting alone,
Dad, I stole from the jar just to score on my own.
Friends turned to strangers, I burned every bridge,
Love turned to ashes ‘cause I couldn’t quit.
(Chorus)
I’m sorry, I’m sorry, for the man I became,
High as the stars but drowning in shame.
To everyone I hurt, every heart that I broke,
I was lost in the fog, chasing smoke after smoke.
Forgive me, forgive me, though I don’t deserve it,
I was blind to the pain while I served it.
Now the comedown is here and it’s tearing me apart,
I’m sorry for the damage, straight from my heart.
(Verse 2)
Sister, I promised I’d always be there,
But I showed up faded with that dead empty stare.
Lover, I lied, said “just one more time,”
Left you crying in the dark while I numbed out my mind.
I ghosted the homies, started fights for no reason,
Missed every chance like it was drug season.
Wrecked cars and relationships, trust in the trash,
All for a fix that never quite lasts.
(Chorus)
I’m sorry, I’m sorry, for the man I became,
High as the stars but drowning in shame.
To everyone I hurt, every heart that I broke,
I was lost in the fog, chasing smoke after smoke.
Forgive me, forgive me, though I don’t deserve it,
I was blind to the pain while I served it.
Now the comedown is here and it’s tearing me apart,
I’m sorry for the damage, straight from my heart.
(Bridge)
No more excuses, no more running away,
The mirror shows a stranger I don’t wanna face today.
I’m putting it down, one trembling day at a time,
Trying to rebuild what I shattered in my prime.
If you can’t forgive me, I get it, I do—
I wouldn’t blame you if you walked out too.
(Outro / Final Chorus – softer, slower)
I’m sorry… yeah, I’m so damn sorry,
For the nights I was gone and the words that were gory.
To my family, my friends, my love left behind,
I’m clawing my way back, leaving the high behind.
One day at a time, I’ll make it right if I can,
From the bottom of this hell, reaching out my hand…
I’m sorry.
