No Apology Left

I used to bend my words to keep the peace

Softened my edges, fell to my knees

You crossed my lines then asked for more

But some things deserve a closing door

Respect is not a favor

It's the ground we stand upon

I won't shrink to make you stay

No apology left to say

If truth offends, then let it be

I won't betray the core of me

I won't beg for you to see

What's already plain to me

You call it pride, but you don't understand

It's called knowing where I stand

I won't explain my boundaries twice

Your comfort is not worth the price

If honesty feels heavy

Try carrying a lie

I won't shrink to make you stay

No apology left to say

If truth offends, then let it be

I won't betray the core of me

I won't beg for you to see

What's already plain to me

I can care and still walk away

Love doesn't mean I have to stay

If I lose you by being real

Then you were never mine to feel

I won't shrink to make you stay

No apology left to say

If truth offends, then let it be

I won't betray the core of me

I won't beg for you to see

What's already plain to me

This is me without regret
