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

[Pre-Chorus – Slight build, fake sincerity]
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

[Chorus – Full band kick in, vicious and real]
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

[Verse 2 – Mocking tone, twisted love]
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

[Pre-Chorus – Almost laughing]
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

[Chorus – Repeated with extra edge]
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

[Bridge – Spoken/slammed]
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

[Final Chorus – Slowed down, then explodes]
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

[Outro – Final line, screamed]
I hope you choke on every word you waited for.
