Sorry younger me

“Sorry Younger Me”

(Emotional R&B/Hip-Hop — pain, anger, heartbreak, and healing)

Intro

(Yeah…)

(Ooh…)

(Why me?…)

(Ayy…)

(Talk to ’em…)

Verse 1

2005 made me, I was just a baby,

Didn’t ask for this pain, so why it always chase me?

As I got older, had big dreams in my head,

Now I’m twenty-one, and half of ’em feel dead.

2015 to 2026, yeah, them years did damage,

Smilin’ for the world while my heart couldn’t manage.

Everybody saw the jokes, nobody saw the tears,

Nobody saw me fightin’ through anxiety and fears.

I was cryin’ in silence, sufferin’ alone,

Needed somebody’s help, but nobody picked up the phone.

Started buildin’ walls, stopped trustin’ everybody,

’Cause every time I opened up, they acted like they got me…

Then they left.

(Yeah…)

Then they switched.

(Ayy…)

Then they lied.

(Why?…)

And I still don’t know why.

Pre-Chorus

I’m mad at the pain…

(So mad…)

Mad at the tears…

(Yeah…)

Mad that I wasted so many years…

(Too many years…)

Tryna be strong for everybody else,

While I was slowly losin’ myself.

Chorus

I’m sorry younger me…

(I’m sorry…)

You ain’t deserve the things you seen.

(Nah…)

You ain’t deserve to feel that hurt,

To carry pain before you even knew your worth.

I’m sorry younger me…

(Ooh…)

You was just a baby…

(Just a baby…)

And now I’m twenty-one still fightin’ these demons,

Still askin’ God what’s the reason.

Why I gotta hurt like this?

(Tell me why…)

Why I gotta cry like this?

(Every night…)

Why I gotta carry all this weight?

(So heavy…)

And pretend that everything okay?

Verse 2

I took a lot for granted, I admit that it’s true,

Now I’d do anything to get some moments back too.

Wish I could hug the old me and tell me it’ll be alright,

Instead of spendin’ all these years just tryna survive the night.

Some days I’m angry.

(Real angry…)

Some days I’m broken.

(Broken…)

Some days my heart got so much pain it feel like it’s chokin’.

People tell me “keep goin’,” like it’s easy to do,

When you carry scars nobody else can see but you.

Every disappointment, every promise that got shattered,

Got me wonderin’ if I ever really mattered.

(Did I?…)

(Did I?…)

For real…

Bridge

If I could talk to younger me…

(Yeah…)

I’d say don’t blame yourself…

(Don’t do it…)

The world gon’ hurt you sometimes,

But don’t let it steal your health.

And all them nights you cried alone…

(I remember…)

And all them days you felt ignored…

(I remember…)

You survived every single one…

(Every one…)

Even when your heart was at war.

Final Chorus

I’m sorry younger me…

(I’m sorry…)

For every time I hated what I see.

(Yeah…)

For every dream I almost let die,

For every night I questioned why.

I’m sorry younger me…

(Ooh…)

But I’m still here.

(Still here…)

Still breathing.

(Still breathing…)

Still healing.

(Still healing…)

Even when this pain got me screaming.

2005 made me…

2015 to 2026 broke me…

But it also taught me…

That every scar got a story.

(Yeah…)

And if I’m still standing after all this…

Then maybe I’m stronger than I think.

(Maybe I am…)

(Ooh…)

(Yeah…) 🎤💔
