All my words are a long excuse
For denial
And shame
And trouble

Forever dancing with a ghost, I pretended
'Cause I'm scared of being seen by another

Oh, and I don't know why I'm so stubborn, baby
Why I treat your forgiveness like it's wrong

Oh, I'm fighting myself in the mirror
Going all nine rounds with the fear
Of losing all of my pride
Just can't apologize
Shaking my fist, you're laughing
Seeing red while you're trying to get past it
No compromise
I'm sorry
I just can't apologize
Sorry, I just can't apologize

All the anger is upon me
It's too late to find the grace
I recognize that I'm not bound to my position

Like a fool I'm trying to fight
I'm trying to hide what I don't like
I'm like a soldier in a tank without a mission

Oh, I'm fighting myself in the mirror
Going all nine rounds with the fear
Of losing all of my pride
Just can't apologize
Shaking my fist, you're laughing
Seeing red while you're trying to get past it
No compromise
I'm sorry
I just can't apologize
Sorry, I just can't apologize

Standing in the bright cold shame
Of every eye and stoic face
Nothing left to cut away

Oh, I'm lighter now, I can't stop running
After you like a freight train coming
Beautiful and strange collision

Oh, I'm fighting myself in the mirror
Going all nine rounds with the fear
Of losing all of my pride
Just can't apologize
Shaking my fist, you're laughing
Seeing red while you're trying to get past it
No compromise
I'm sorry
I just can't apologize
Sorry, I just can't apologize

I'm sorry, I just can't apologize
Sorry, I just can't apologize
