[Intro] (echoed whisper) I’m not sorry... For being real. For being me. --- [Verse 1] I used to shrink just to make ‘em feel tall Used to say “I’m fine” when I couldn’t breathe at all Smiled through silence, wore the blame But now I say my truth with no shame I cried in rooms they never saw Held back storms behind these walls Gave love they couldn’t hold Now I pour it into my own soul --- [Pre-Chorus] They called me too much — I call it full I call it real, I call it beautiful If I’m the wave, then let me crash I’d rather break than wear a mask --- [Chorus] No apologies for how I feel No more hiding what’s too real I don’t soften truth to keep the peace If it costs me, that ain’t free I speak soft, but I stand strong I’ve been right where I didn’t belong Now I bloom loud, wild, and free No apologies… just me --- [Verse 2] I used to ask for space like it was a sin Now I claim it like the queen within You don’t owe the world your undoing Some love ain’t love — it’s just consuming I broke cycles they thought were fate Turned my silence into grace I still feel deep — I still cry But I don’t explain the reasons why --- [Pre-Chorus] They called me too raw — I call it gold They called me soft — but I’m bold If I’m the fire, let me burn They watched me fall, now it’s my turn --- [Chorus] No apologies for how I feel No more hiding what’s too real I don’t soften truth to keep the peace If it costs me, that ain’t free I speak soft, but I stand strong I’ve been right where I didn’t belong Now I bloom loud, wild, and free No apologies… just me --- [Bridge] (spoken with soft piano under) This voice is mine. This body is mine. This healing is mine. And I don’t owe a single sorry for surviving. --- [Final Chorus] (build slow, then lift strong) No apologies for how I heal For setting fire to what ain’t real I won’t shrink to make you proud I wear my truth out loud I cry, I laugh, I scream, I pray I rise a little more each day And if I’m too much for them to see… Then they were never meant for me --- [Outro] (soft echo) No apologies… No apologies… Just me. ---
