I start all my arguments hoping for something to be different this time
But they always end with a quiet "I'm sorry"
I'm sorry I said anything
I'm sorry I don't always see your way
I'm sorry I cause so many fights
I'll work harder
Please forgive me?

My life is a compilation of sorry's
Sorry, am I in the way?
Sorry, can I have those papers I asked for a month ago?
Sorry, but can I make a suggestion?
Sorry, you bumped into me
Sorry, I was in the seat you wanted
Sorry, but can you give me the money you owe?
I'm sorry
I'm sorry
I'm sorry
I'm sorry
Please forgive me?

I am not sorry
I am not sorry that I refuse to shrink myself to give you more room
I am not sorry that I ask for the things I deserve
I am not sorry that I have a voice
I am not sorry that I am going to use it
I will not apologize for existing

I do not need you to forgive me.
