No More Sorry

You don't want no more sorry
You just wanted me to stay
You needed arms, not answers
You needed truth, not blame
You were soft, you were golden
While I was stuck in my ways
You don't want no more sorry
You just needed me to change
I used to think silence was strength
That holding back made me a man
But you saw through all that distance
And loved me where I really am
You waited with grace in your bones
While I wrestled demons alone
You stood in the fire with patience
Till I laid my ego down and came home
I saw the hurt I caused
Not all at once — but piece by piece
Little words, cold shoulders
That chipped away your peace
You never yelled, you never ran
You just prayed that I'd be free
Now I see the rose you are
And I treat you carefully
I told you "sorry" like it fixed the pain
But that word just lost its weight
It's not about the sound I make
It's in the man I choose to be each day
You don't want no more sorry
You just wanted me to stay
You needed arms, not answers
You needed truth, not blame
You were soft, you were golden
While I was stuck in my ways
You don't want no more sorry
You just needed me to change
Now I watch the way you move
Still guarded, still so brave
You're the strongest soul I've ever known
In the gentlest frame God made
And I'm done with disappearin'
Done with half-lovin' you
You gave me time to grow
Now I give all of me to you
No more shadow, no more pride
No more moods you have to ride
When you pull away, I wait
I don't chase — I don't hide
You're not crazy, you're not weak
You're just tired of broken peace
And now I finally see
What it means to truly lead
You a rose behind thorns
But you still bloom in the light
And I'll be still when you need space
I'll be fire, but held right
I don't ask you to trust
I just earn it, every night
'Cause no more sorry
Only love done right
You don't want no more sorry
You just wanted to be seen
To be held with steady hands
Not tiptoe through a dream
You were soft, you were sacred
And I finally know what that means
You don't want no more sorry
You just needed a king
No more sorry
No more fear
You loved me back to life
And I'm still here
