Sorry For Not Saying Sorry

[Verse 1]
I was loud
Way too loud
Turned a small thing
To a full crowd
You were quiet
I was storm
You were asking for a moment
I was coming in torn
I’m sorry for the words
I’m sorry for the tone
I’m sorry that I made
Your safe place feel unknown
Didn’t say it in the moment
Held my pride like a shield
Now I’m pacing in a circle
Same floor, same field
I hate that I hurt you
Hate how I sound
Hate that I go up
Just to crash back down
I hate myself for it
But I’m tired of that song
I don’t wanna stay broken
I just wanna be strong
[Chorus]
I’m sorry for being angry
Sorry for raising my voice
Sorry for not saying sorry
Like I even had a choice
I don’t wanna live this story
Where I always do you wrong
I just wanna do right
Wanna love you lifelong
I miss our little jokes
Miss you laughing in my arms (yeah)
Miss the lazy Sunday movies
Miss the easy, calm
Miss feeling like I’m welcome
Not a problem in the room
Miss intimacy and sunlight
We been living in a gloom
[Verse 2]
You remember how we danced
In the kitchen late? (hey)
Spilled sauce, burned rice
Still called it a date
You would talk about your day
I would listen, really listen
Now I’m staring at the doorway
Feeling everything missing
I’ve been looking at my patterns
Tracing every line
Where I shut down, blow up
Cross another line
I don’t wanna be my anger
Don’t wanna be that guy
I just wanna hold your hand
Look you straight in the eye
Say I’m sorry with my actions
Not just in these rhymes
Choose patience over ego
Ten out of ten times
Can we press a soft reset?
Can we breathe, then speak?
I’ll rebuild your trust
Even if it takes weeks
[Chorus]
I’m sorry for being angry
Sorry for raising my voice
Sorry for not saying sorry
Letting silence make the choice
I don’t wanna live this story
Where I always do you wrong
I just wanna do right
Wanna love you lifelong
I miss our little jokes
Miss you laughing in my arms
Miss the playful, happy version
Of us, safe from harm
I miss feeling like I’m yours
Miss believing I’m enough
I’m sorry that I broke it
Help me learn a softer love (ooh)
