Lyrics
[verse]
Woke up at the darkest hour, couldn't shake the shame
Every mistake I made was calling out my name
I was chasing everything except the one thing true
Took me way too long to see I hurt you
[chorus]
I apologize, I apologize for real
Not the kind of sorry that just tries to heal
The kind that sits with what I did and owns the pain
I apologize, I won't do that again
[verse]
Pride kept me quiet when I should've said it clear
Built these walls so high I couldn't see you here
Now I'm tearing every one of them back down
Learning how to love without the crown
[chorus]
I apologize, I apologize for real
Not the kind of sorry that just tries to heal
The kind that sits with what I did and owns the pain
I apologize, I won't do that again
[bridge]
Minimal keys playing soft behind the truth
Every word I write is trying to find the proof
That a man can change if he's willing to be seen
Not the picture that I built, but who I've been
[chorus]
I apologize, I apologize for real
Not the kind of sorry that just tries to heal
The kind that sits with what I did and owns the pain
I apologize, I won't do that again
