You don’t feel guilty
You feel exposed
Now you’re shaking with regret like it’s something new
Like your conscience just woke up and decided to move
But where was that guilt when you were in too deep?
Where was that shame when you couldn’t fucking sleep?
You smiled through the damage, you thrived in the lie
Now you’re crying for forgiveness with a straight face and dry eyes
Don’t tell me you’re broken, don’t tell me you care
You were fine with the fire until it burned the air
You didn’t stop because it hurt me
You stopped because they saw
You didn’t change because you wanted to
You changed because you got caught
So is this guilt just another disguise?
Another mask for your alibis?
If no one knew, if the lights stayed low
Would you still be doing it? We both fucking know
Don’t tell me you’re sorry, don’t tell me you’ve grown
You just hate that the truth is finally known
So tell me—would you feel a thing
If your secrets never saw the light of day?
You say you’re sick with regret, but you were healthy in the act
You were steady in the betrayal, you were calm in the attack
Now you’re playing confession like it’s some kind of cure
But you only want forgiveness, not to be held accountable for
You didn’t slip, you didn’t fall
You made the choice, you made the call
Every step was deliberate
So don’t you dare call it accidental
You swear you’ve changed, you swear it’s done
But the only thing that changed is the fucking outcome
So tell me—if I never knew
Would you still be lying straight to my face like you do?
So is this guilt just another disguise?
Another mask for your alibis?
If no one knew, if the lights stayed low
Would you still be doing it? We both fucking know
Don’t tell me you’re sorry, don’t tell me you’ve grown
You just hate that the truth is finally known
So tell me—would you feel a thing
If your secrets never saw the light of day?
You don’t regret the damage
You regret the display
You don’t hate the actions
You hate the exposure
You don’t feel shame
You feel threatened
You don’t feel guilt
You feel cornered
You don’t feel bad
You feel seen
You don’t feel guilt
You feel weak
You would still be doing it
If I was still in the dark
You would still be doing it
If no one left a mark
Caught
Exposed
Now you’re suddenly fucking remorseful
I hate that a part of me wants to believe
That this time you’re real, that this time you see
But I’ve watched you lie too clean, too calm
Too comfortable living in the wrong
You didn’t wake up with a conscience today
You woke up with consequences in your face
So don’t tell me you’ve changed inside
When all that changed is the place you can hide
Is this guilt just survival in disguise?
Just another way to save your life?
If I never found out, if I never looked
Would you still be playing me like a fucking book?
I’m done mistaking fear for remorse
I’m done believing your rehearsed remorse
If you were sorry, you would’ve stopped
Not waited to be fucking caught
You didn’t grow
You got exposed
There’s a difference
