[Verse 1]
Never meant to hurt nobody
Never meant to make you cry
But I was so caught up in myself
I never saw the warning signs
And every promise that I made
Started breaking at the seams
Now I’m lying here awake
Haunted by what could have been
[Pre-Chorus]
I’d trade every excuse
For one more chance to make things right
But the truth is
Some apologies arrive too late at night
[Chorus]
I know I changed you
Made you carry things you shouldn’t have to hold
Made you question all the parts of yourself
That I was supposed to protect
And if I could undo the damage
God knows I’d try
But some mistakes leave scars
No matter how many times
You say you’re sorry
[Verse 2]
Now your side of the bed is cold
And your picture’s face-down on the shelf
Funny how losing you
Forced me to finally face myself
I replay every conversation
Looking for a different end
Trying to find the moment
When I stopped being your safe place
[Pre-Chorus]
I’d trade every excuse
For one more chance to make things right
But the truth is
Some apologies arrive too late at night
[Chorus]
I know I changed you
Made you carry things you shouldn’t have to hold
Made you question all the parts of yourself
That I was supposed to protect
And if I could undo the damage
God knows I’d try
But some mistakes leave scars
No matter how many times
You say you’re sorry
[Bridge]
I don’t need forgiveness
I don’t need you to come back
I just need you to know
I finally understand that
Love wasn’t something I lost
Love was something I let go
And that’s a weight
I’ll carry on my own
[Final Chorus]
I know I changed you
And that’s the hardest thing to live with now
Knowing I became the reason
You stopped believing somehow
And if I could undo the damage
God knows I’d try
But some mistakes leave scars
No matter how many times
You say you’re sorry
