Sorry’s Not Enough
Slow-burning Southern rock love ballad,lush stringed orchestra, with male vocals: close-mic’d, breathy baritone tinged with rasp, deep drawl. Intimate intro on clean electric guitar, light spring reverb. Verses stay sparse—just guitar, subtle organ pads. Chorus swells with overdriven guitar swells, laid-back drums, and low harmonies for weight. Final chorus adds a soaring, bent-note guitar line shadowing the vocal, then ends on a quiet single chord that hangs in the air., deep, ballad, sad, electric

Lyrics
Verse 1
You leave your jacket on my chair
Like you're planting little flags in here
Mouth full of reasons
Hands in the air
Same old movie
Same worn-out tears
Chorus
Saying sorry is not good enough anymore
You write it on my phone
You whisper at my door
You turn it to a song
To a promise on the floor
But saying sorry is not good enough
Not good enough anymore
Verse 2
You buy flowers at the corner store
Push them through the crack like a bandage on the door
You always know how to sound sincere
But your echo’s louder than you standing here
Chorus
Saying sorry is not good enough anymore
You write it on my phone
You whisper at my door
You turn it to a song
To a promise on the floor
But saying sorry is not good enough
Not good enough anymore
Bridge
Keep your reasons
Keep your rain
I’ve been drowning
In the same old pain
If you want me
It takes more
Than a fragile word
You’ve broken before (oh)
Chorus
Saying sorry is not good enough anymore
You write it on my phone
You whisper at my door
If you can’t change the ending
Don’t start like before
Because saying sorry is not good enough
Not good enough anymore
