The Apology I’ll Never Mean

Verse 1 – Calm, cold tone]

I’m sorry you mistook my silence for peace

Sorry you thought I was fighting for “us”

Sorry I said all the right things

Just to watch you rust

I’m sorry your dreams were cheap enough

To buy with a bedtime kiss

And sorry I played the perfect role

While plotting my exit list

So here’s your closure, tied in a bow

Signed, sealed, buried below

This is me being nice, can’t you tell?

I’m sorry, now go to hell

This is the apology I’ll never mean

A rehearsed regret for a toxic scene

You want tears? You’ll get sarcasm instead

A bouquet of thorns and words I never said

You begged for healing—this is spite in disguise

An empty sorry behind dead eyes

I’m sorry your friends all warned you first

And you still took the ride

Sorry I kissed your wounds

Then let them bleed from inside

I’m sorry I led you to believe

I had anything real to give

You loved a mask I wore too well

Even I forgot who I is

So here’s your script, and here’s your scene

I’ll fake remorse like a silver screen

Cue the heartbreak, cue the scream

You wanted closure—cue the dream

This is the apology I’ll never mean

Just venom sugarcoated in a scream

You want truth? It’s buried deep

Under ego, rage, and lack of sleep

So take this anthem soaked in lies

And frame it with your alibis

You don’t want sorry

You want surrender

You want me smaller

You want forever

But I was never

Built to bend

This ain’t regret—

This is the end

This is the apology I’ll never mean

Etched in smoke on a shattered screen

I’m not sorry for a single thing

Except that I let you clip my wings

I hope you choke on every word you waited for.
