I'm Sorry

You stayed through the storms I made
I was too proud to say your name
You were folding your dreams in drawers
While I was out chasing applause
Late texts, late lies, late nights
You cried in the soft blue light
You asked, "Am I asking too much?"
I said, "You're tripping," and pulled back my touch

I'm so sorry for the pain I put you through
All the scars you had to hide, I gave to you
You were praying I would change, I was playing childish games
Now the silence feels louder than the truth
I'm so sorry for the pain I put you through

You waited on fool gone cold
I waited 'til your heart got old
You saved all the photos we took
I saved all the numbers I shouldn't
You wore that red dress for me
I wore my anger like a key
Unlocking every door but home
Left you dancing in the dark alone

I'm so sorry for the pain I put you through (Oh, oh)
All the scars you had to hide, I gave to you (Oh)
You were praying I would change, I was playing childish games
Now the silence feels louder than the truth
I'm so sorry for the pain I put you through (Oh, yeah)

If I could rewrite every night (Night)
I'd trade my pride for your peace of mind, yeah
You deserved mornings that felt like light (Light)
Not learning my patterns or leaving behind
You were my shelter, I was the rain
Flooding your heart, then walking away
If you never take me back, I get it (I get it)
But I hope you hear why I did it

I'm so sorry for the pain I put you through
All the scars you had to hide, I gave to you
You were praying I would change, I was playing childish games
If you never say my name, you'll still know the truth
And I'm sorry for the pain I put you through

Oh, oh, ooh
