Verse I

I'm sorry, but I don't apologise.

For working to the bone,

For saving my life.

​

I used to be tired, I used to hold back,

I used to step aside let others fight.

I used to be quiet, I used to try hide.

Got lost in the day, so I stole the night.

 

Chorus

But I'm not sorry,

for taking what I want.

I'm sorry, for waiting so long.

 

Verse II

I'm laughing, at the power you think that you have.

I'm hungry for more, cause I cant keep,

Sinking my teeth in submission no more.

​

So look to the west, I used to live in your shadow but now the sun's set.

I've waded through the water,

Getting stronger and stronger and stronger.

​

Bridge

Child, you do not stand alone,

So please be brave now, 

It won't be like life before, that's why we stand here on the shore.

​

Yes, the water's colder now,

And the waves are loud but it won't be like life before that's why we wait.
