Midnight bruises (Remix)

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

Rap Verse (Male POV)

Yeah

I used to blame the distance, blame the timing, blame the stress

Anything but looking in the mirror at the mess

Thought love would stick around no matter what I did

Now I’m sitting with the silence and the things I never fixed

You were asking for the truth, I kept giving you excuses

Didn’t see the little cuts turn into midnight bruises

And every time you cried, I swore I’d do better

But sorry don’t mean much when it never changes weather

Now your name lights up my phone less and less these days

Guess healing looks a lot like walking away

And I can’t even be mad, girl, I know what I became

The kind of hurt I promised I would never bring

So if you’re finally sleeping without carrying my weight

That’s the one thing I pray never changes

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

Outro

Some apologies arrive

Too late at night

And some mistakes leave scars

No matter how many times

You say you’re sorry
