Im done apologizing for who I am,
because of what you've done,
Im not afraid now,
and it wont go away.

I thought I could handle this,
but its so hard, the pain,
I thought I could get through this,
but Baby I cant shake this.

Thats what you used to call me,
Baby,
what a sweet name,
too bad it didnt mean anything.

I dont wish it did,
not anymore,
Im done apologizing,
Im not going to anymore,
not for who I am.

Im tired of being sorry because I am caring and that got me in trouble and the person I cared for made me feel worse.
