You want me to say sorry?

I'm not that kind of creature

You say "Say sorry" I say "For what,

exactly?" You say "For bein' loud" I say "I'm loud,

I'm not shady" You say "For takin' space" I say "Space is

what I need"

You say "For bein' 'much'" I say "Yeah,

and I don't fold,

see?" You want a little bow?

A little "my bad,

bro?" You want me to shrink?

Go quiet? Lay low?

Nah, I take up the room,

I take up the floor You want me smaller?

Go find a different door You want me to cry?

(Nah.) You want me to break?

(Nah.) You want a little tear for your ego's sake?

(Double nah.) You want me to say "I didn't mean to"?

Nah.

I meant every single word.

And I'd do it again.

Twice. No a-pol-o-gy, no a-pol-o-gy,

I ain't sayin' sorry

You want an apology?

That's a whole different story No a-pol-o-gy,

no a-pol-o-gy, not in my vocabulary I said what I said,

I did what I did,

end of the commentary

You screenshot my text,

show your boys, say I'm cold They go "Damn,

he didn't even say sorry?" I go "I told you" You want

a paragraph? A whole essay?

A thesis? Nah, you get a period.

One dot. That's the whole piece,

see? You say "You're emotionally unavailable" I say "I'm efficient"

You say "You're rude" I

say "I prefer self-sufficient"

You say "You don't care about anyone" I say "I care about

my sleep"

"And my iced coffee.

And my Wi-Fi.

In that order. Keep."

"Oh, you're sorry?"

(Pause) "I'm not." "Oh,

you feel bad?"

(Pause) "I don't."

"You want closure?" (Pause) "Here's the door." "You want an apology?"

I said NO.

And I don't stutter.

I don't say "my bad"

I say "that's your bad"

I don't say "I'm sorry"

I say "that's sad"

I don't say "forgive me" I say "get over it,

lad" I don't say "I'll change" I say "I'm already rad"

No a-pol-o-gy, no a-pol-o-gy,

I ain't sayin' sorry

You want an

apology? That's a whole different story

No a-pol-o-gy, no a-pol-o-gy,

not in my vocabulary

I said what I said,

I did what I did,

end of the commentary

(No a-pol-o-gy…) (He still waiting for that sorry…) (I sent a thumbs

up instead.) …and THAT'S the closure.
