[Verse 1]
Dm
I wrote a song, a journal
Dm A
Gave it to the world
Told the story
A Dm
Of when I was just a girl
Dm
I sought understanding
Dm A
Clarity in truth
By baring all the wounds
A Dm
Inflicted on my youth
Dm
You criticized my choice
Dm A
To stand up to my past
To give the pain a voice
A Dm
So that it too could pass
Dm
But I felt brave
Dm A
And filled with pride as I let go
A Dm
Of bitterness that wouldn'??t leave or let me grow
[Pre-Chorus]
Gm Dm
And I will spend a lifetime
Gm Dm
Trying to understand
Gm Dm
Why someone sharing my bloodline
Gm A
Would not lend me their hand
[Chorus]
Dm F
Am I supposed to apologize?
Bb A Dm F
Am I supposed to apologize?
Bb A Dm F
Am I supposed to apologize?
Bb A Dm F
Am I supposed to apologize?
Bb A Dm
[Verse 2]
Dm
I loved her more than myself
Dm A
But she made me choose
Between her and my father
A Dm
And so I refused
Dm
I fled her house and wrath
Dm A
Eleven years of age
Followed the crooked path
A Dm
That led me to a stage
Dm
The curtains opened up
Dm A
My heart followed the lead
The music wouldn't stop
A Dm
And I could finally breathe
[Pre-Chorus]
Gm Dm
But I will spend a lifetime
Gm Dm
Trying to understand
Gm Dm
Why someone sharing my bloodline
Gm A
Would not lend me their hand
[Chorus]
Dm F
Am I supposed to apologize?
Bb A Dm F
Am I supposed to apologize?
Bb A Dm F
Am I supposed to apologize?
Bb A Dm F
Am I supposed to apologize?
