The words “I’m sorry” linger in the air
And I wonder where you get your nerve
You missed your deadline long ago
I find no meaning in those words
Overdue excuses and explanations
Moldy and left to decay
You’re far too late to make up for
The hurt you left me with yesterday
I spit on your newly recognized regrets
Hearing you speak these things feels like a dream
But their worthless now, void and invalid
Close the door as you leave
This grudge has deepened over time
And I look at you now with distain
Stale apologies do nothing to remedy
The time I spent alone in this pain
I spent an eternity in suspension
Waiting to see you repent
And you knew than how you could have fixed this
And what it would have meant
You choose to leave me broken and bitter
And your remorse is far beyond past due
How can you stand there somehow expecting
There’s anyway I can ever forgive you
I’ll never absolve the scars you left me with
I’d rather die resentful and angry
I’ll carry this grudge to my grave
Before I ever accept your stale apologies
