Sorry to Myself

[INTRO]

Sorry…

Maybe I should've known,

Some lessons hurt the most

When you learn them on your own.

[VERSE 1]

I ask it from myself, how I let you get so close,

How I trusted every word when I should've known the most.

How I ever let you hurt me, let you tear my world apart,

I handed you my weakness, you handed back the scars.

I foolishly expected good from someone else,

Kept putting you before me, kept forgetting about myself.

I waited for the kindness, I waited for the truth,

But every empty promise took another piece of youth.

[PRE-CHORUS]

Now I know, now I see,

You were never meant for me.

All the tears, all the pain,

I won't carry them again.

[CHORUS]

I'm sorry, sorry — sorry to myself,

For giving you my heart when I should've saved it for myself.

I expected good, but you gave me something else,

Now I'm picking up the pieces, putting them back on the shelf.

I'm sorry, sorry — but I'm letting go,

The past stays behind me, and I'm ready for the road.

No more looking backward, no more asking why,

What you broke inside me

Won't decide my life.

[VERSE 2]

I used to blame myself for every word you said,

Replay every moment lying restless in my bed.

Wondering if I missed it, if I should've seen the signs,

But I was only hoping that your heart would match with mine.

I gave you every chance, every reason to be true,

I kept believing there was something good in you.

But sometimes hope is blind when you're desperate to believe,

And sometimes letting go is the only way to breathe.

Now I don't hate you, I don't need revenge,

I just finally understand where your story ends.

You were a chapter, not the ending of my life,

And I'm closing that book without another goodbye.

[PRE-CHORUS]

Now I know, now I see,

You were never meant for me.

All the tears, all the pain,

I won't carry them again.

[CHORUS]

I'm sorry, sorry — sorry to myself,

For giving you my heart when I should've saved it for myself.

I expected good, but you gave me something else,

Now I'm picking up the pieces, putting them back on the shelf.

I'm sorry, sorry — but I'm letting go,

The past stays behind me, and I'm ready for the road.

No more looking backward, no more asking why,

What you broke inside me

Won't decide my life.

[BRIDGE]

Maybe I was foolish, maybe I was blind,

Maybe I was searching for the good I couldn't find.

But I won't call it weakness just because I cared,

I gave you something honest — you were never prepared.

So goodbye to the version of me that couldn't leave,

Goodbye to every lie that I once chose to believe.

I forgive myself for everything I couldn't see,

The past stays behind me —

Now I'm choosing me.

[FINAL CHORUS]

I'm sorry, sorry — sorry to myself,

For giving you my heart when I should've saved it for myself.

I expected good, but I finally know,

Not every hand you hold is meant to never let you go.

I'm sorry, sorry — but I'm letting go,

The past stays behind me, now I'm ready for the road.

No more looking backward, no more asking why,

You were part of my story —

You won't be my life.

[OUTRO]

Sorry…

I don't need to ask why anymore.

The past stays behind me,

And I'm walking through the door.

I lost myself trying to save somebody else,

But now I know the truth…

I should've chosen myself.
