Not Sorry Now
How could I have stayed so long?
When in my heart I wanted to be free
Now I will reclaim what’s lost
I will find the pride inside of me
I prayed for a long time
And tried to sacrifice
You said listen to you dear
And I would get it right
I’m not sorry now
I’m not sorry now
For fighting who you wanted me to be
I’m not sorry now, not sorry now
For holding on to my identity
Cause it’s just me
Days and months and years went by
But not enough had changed for you to see
And how I cried and tried I tried
All the while I thought that it was me
Then I looked out beyond us
And finally saw the light (sax response)
I couldn’t live with the guilt and
The pain I felt inside
I’m not sorry now
I’m not sorry now
For fighting who you wanted me to be
I’m not sorry now, not sorry now
For holding on to my identity
Cause it’s just me
I was so over us
Long before we were through
No I won’t take it back and I won’t take this crap
It’s not me, it’s not me, it’s you
I’m not sorry now
I’m not sorry now
For fighting who you wanted me to be
I’m not sorry now, not sorry now
For holding on to my identity
Cause it’s just me
