Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Fourteen White walls Cold light Doctor’s eyes won’t meet your own Cartoon socks on your small feet Shaking hands on a plastic phone You learned new words like they were storms Watched your mother try to pray You drew suns on paper gowns Swore you’d outrun every grey [Chorus] I’m not sorry for you I’m sorry for the days they stole For every birthday spent in bedsheets Every plan they turned to smoke You’re not some tragic story You’re flesh and fire and truth I’m not sorry for you I’m raging at the hurt they put you through [Verse 2] Nineteen Campus First fall Laughed so loud you scared the crows Then the spinning Then the sirens Same old questions Different clothes You cut scars into your schedule Pills in place of Friday nights Still you danced with crooked balance Borrowed joy Returned it bright [Chorus] I’m not sorry for you I’m sorry for the years they bled For every friend who slowly faded Couldn’t face the tubes and tests You’re not their quiet pity You’re thunder breaking through I’m not sorry for you I’m furious that the world did this to you [Bridge] Thirty hit you like a hammer (oh) Half your body wouldn’t move You blinked twice Spelled out “I’m tired” Then you grinned and whispered “you?” You have dragged your broken body Through a maze that had no map Still you hold our hands in yours Ask us how we’re holding up [Chorus] I’m not sorry for you I’m sorry for the weight you bear For every laugh that comes out shaking Every “fine” that hides despair You’re not some fading picture You’re wild Bright Raw And bruised I’m not sorry for you I’m honored just to stand here next to you [Outro] So when they tilt their heads and murmur “I’m so sorry ” like a curse We will lift your name up louder Over all their softened words You were never made for hiding You’re the hardest kind of proof I’m not sorry for you I’m just so damn proud of you
