Sorry For Existing (I Learned To Be Small For You) - Official Music Video

Описание: "I learned to be small so you’d still want me around..."
This song is for anyone who has apologized for their own feelings, their own questions, or their own pain. "Sorry For Existing" is an anthem for the ones who shrink themselves to fit inside someone else's life—sacrificing their identity just to keep the love.
If you find yourself saying "sorry" when someone bumps into you, or editing your texts so you don't "ruin their day," this song is your mirror. It explores the exhaustion of Self-Erasure: the tragedy of believing that your existence is an inconvenience to the person you love.

🎧 In this song:

The habit of apologizing for simply breathing

Shrinking yourself to avoid conflict ("Bend till I break")

The pain of believing your needs are "disasters"

Trying to un-learn the belief that you are a burden
👇 Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
“Sorry” is the first word sitting on my tongue
I say it for everything, even when I’ve done
Nothing but breathe too loud in a quiet room
Nothing but take up a little too much truth

I say “sorry” when I text you back too fast
“Sorry” when I answer after you at last
“Sorry” when I cry, turn my face away
I’m scared my feelings will ruin your day

[Pre-Chorus]
I learned to be small so you’d still want me around
To bend till I break, but never make a sound

[Chorus]
Sorry for existing, for being in the way
For needing any kindness, for taking up a day
Sorry for the questions, sorry for the tears
Sorry that my presence ever interferes
I apologize for breathing, like it’s some kind of crime
Shrinking who I am to fit inside the lines
I’ve been saying sorry just for being me
Maybe I deserve a life where “sorry” isn’t all I speak

[Verse 2]
I say “sorry” when you bump into me first
Turn my own bruises into something I deserved
Laugh off the moments that cut too deep
Call it “no big deal,” then lose sleep

I erase my opinions before they’re heard
Edit my sentences, rewrite every word
If I disappear, at least you won’t be mad
That’s how I learned to measure “good” and “bad”

[Pre-Chorus]
I fold myself smaller so you don’t complain
But I’m starting to drown in all this restrained

[Chorus]
Sorry for existing, for being in the way
For needing any kindness, for taking up a day
Sorry for the questions, sorry for the tears
Sorry that my presence ever interferes
I apologize for breathing, like it’s some kind of crime
Shrinking who I am to fit inside the lines
I’ve been saying sorry just for being me
Maybe I deserve a life where “sorry” isn’t all I speak

[Bridge]
What if I said “I’m hurting” without saying “sorry” after?
What if my needs were allowed, not disasters?
What if I took up space and nobody left?
Would I still be worthy if I wasn’t my best?

[Chorus – final]
I’m done apologizing just for being here
My heart’s not a burden, my feelings aren’t weird
Still scared you’ll leave if I show too much
But I’m trying to believe I’m worthy of love
No more “sorry for existing” every time I breathe
I’m learning that my presence isn’t some disease
One day I’ll say “I matter” and I’ll start to see
I never had to beg permission just to be
