VERSE 1 I know its unexpected Just give me a second I need to sorry for the things I did to you When you were younger To you and your mother If only I’d have know back then the damage it would do PRE I’ve watched you fight with addiction and struggle with commitment Couldn’t help but think of you as a thorn in my side Withdrew my affection to teach you a lesson oh, what a waste of our time CHORUS But there’s no knock on my door There’s no please can we talk No sorry for all of the pain that I caused We’re not sat in my kitchen with quiet forgiveness I thought you would find your way here but you didn’t I’ll write myself the apology I’ll never receive VERSE 2 Too young at eleven to learn of deception Standing on the doorstep you were screaming out my name The day I got married I know you were angry But that’s a conversation I’m not brave enough to face So I kept you at a distance Watched you try to fix it See the pain written on your face it reminds me of her Its hard remember all our years together And I hate that it hurts CHORUS But there’s no knock on my door There’s no please can we talk No sorry for all of the pain that I caused We’re not sat in my kitchen with quiet forgiveness I thought you would find your way here but you didn’t I’ll write myself the apology I’ll never receive OUTRO I can’t keep on waiting For you to say sorry All of the anger it’s poisoned body If you you ever listen to this song I’ve written I want you to know you’re already forgiven

Ahhh switch it to Father and you’ve nailed my life.

[@AllisonLejeune]

Holy cow!!! This almost describes how I found out about my biological father at 11 years old. And he never actually accepted me as his daughter in anyway; even to his death in Aug. 2020. I met him once at 18 yrs old. 😢

[@benlittle82]

Sat here listening to this on repeat, bawling my eyes out for both parents I'll never hear apologies from. Great advice to write that apology myself. I'm still working through the pain, not quite ready for the forgiveness, but this song helps. Found you from your ADHD content, found your music and was amazed.

I feel this. My mother is a narcissist. Has been my whole life. She's said sorry but I can tell it's crocodile tears. I'm 21tomorrow and she's still the same. One day I'll leave tho. And even tho it will break my inner child I have to do it. I'm gonna do it for myself.

i couldn't possibly explain how much this song means to me. but as someone who's had to make my peace with the fact that i'll never get that apology from either of my abusive parents, i feel this song right down into my soul. thank you. not just for writing this, but being brave enough to share your pain in your music. i know that's probably not easy, but you're helping more people than you could ever know

when you become a parent, its like reliving all of that trauma again. but this time its different. its even more heartbreaking. thank you for this beautiful song. its already changed my world. thank you.

[@Rhiannon-is-a-LawNerd]

This stopped me dead last night. We may not need the same apology, but we certainly need a very similar one. Family tree finally helped me open up to the truth, and this new beautifully captivating song has opened the truth a little deeper. Your honesty has finally helped me start writing the book I've buried deep inside my pain for years. Roxanne, I'm so sorry you feel pain so profound that it touches such deep pain within others. You are incredibly brave. And beautiful and I thank you so so much.❤x

[@cjjoy1988]

Cannot thank you enough for this. Started today crying because my dad doesn't text me back when I check on him or ever call to see how I'm doing. Growing up with two alcoholic and violently abusive parents was difficult. But what's most unbearable is being an adult now and still trying harder then they ever did to bring peace to our family. I see you and love it 🥰 you deserve an apology 💚 🤗

[@nessazenich7014]

And so do you I understand the alcoholic abuse my mother did to me made me always try to be more for everyone and I never had a chance to talk about it to my mom she passed away on Thanksgiving alone and I was never going to be able to get a apology but you don't let your efforts make you feel less than your brighter and bolder and more precious then anyone who doesn't see your love

[@elizabethcope4970]

Those of us who have been neglected and abuse at the hands of the ones we loved and were supposed to be protected by try so fucking hard in our adult lives to give everyone we meet the love and support we never had no matter how much it hurts us in the end. We just don't want anyone to feel what we have or do feel. It hurts us at our core to see someone hurting so we are there for everyone like we hoped and prayed someone would be for us.......

[@its_r_o_r_y]

I am so incredibly sorry to read this, and it resonates deeply. The scares run so incredibly deep don't they... It isn't your responsibility to heal a parent, or keep peace in your family. That belongs to the parents. You never to deserved to be put in that role. I hope you find your own peace, with your own chosen family, and begin to understand how loveable you you are, and that you don't have to "work" to be loved. xx

[@bottomofastairwell]

honestly, sometimes you've got to learn when to just let go. and i say that as someone who spent the better part of my adulthood chasing after scraps of affection from my parents and having to mourn the fact that i'd never have the mom or dad that other people had. but if you just keep pouring more and more of yourself into a relationship that's totally one sided, at a certain point, you have to ask yourself hard questions, like is it worth it. and if it's not, if you're getting nothing back except pain, then it might be time to let go. i know how hard it is, but i also know that i feel freer and lighter than ever, now that i've made my peace with being an emotional orphan. because now i know it's not my fault. i tried. i did everything i could. i tried so hard to make them hear me. but i finally realized that my parents' failure to listen was tHEIR failure, not mine. i didn't deserve to be ignored, cast aside, or treated like i didn't matter. its what happened, but none of it was on ME. and realizing that helped me so much. it also helped me see that i deserved better. that i deserved to be getting what i was giving, because i'm WORTH the love and attention. and if they can't see that, then they're the ones missing out, not me

[@Choshako]

Girl (not to assume gender), you gotta give that shit up. You're wasting love, effort, and attention on people who do not deserve it in the least. That's like pouring liquid gold down into a dried up old well that hasn't worked in years. Save all that for people who will love you as much as you love them. Life is too short to waste that on abusive alkie low-lives.

I am so grateful for my fiance who has sat beside me throughout my healing journey and i look forward to a future where we heal and grow together. ❤

[@magicalkate123456789]

I’ve watched your videos on adhd with your husband for years. Enjoyed the cute little skits. And always I see how loved you are in your hurt. I see a woman healing from everyone that hurt her through education of those who love her. I found out you have a musical career like 15 minutes ago, bought all the songs I could based on one snippet from Instagram. I’m not disappointed as this is the first song of yours I hear all the way through. I will never receive an apology from my dad for all the trauma he has caused me and continues to cause me. Neither will my sister for her second hand and now first hand trauma. It’s so nice to feel that I’m not alone. I’ve been trying to follow your path of healing through education of my loved ones, but it’s not always easy and they don’t always listen or follow through. I need to write all the apologies I will never be given. For her. For that little girl inside me that just wants to feel loved and worthwhile. Thank you. So much. For everything you do. For sharing who you are with the world. In the least creepy way I can say it, we love you, Rory. And I hope to keep watching you grow and heal, leading the way for us to follow.

[@SorcererExtreme]

All I ever wanted was a sober apology. I never received that before they passed from kidney failure.

[@mysterygirl1606]

Mine claim they didn't do anything wrong. I don't think I'll get a real apology. All their apologies include "I'm sorry that you feel that way but we never did anything to you." They did a lot. Probably so much that they've forgotten what they did or they just don't want to be asked why they did it. I'm angry and I'm allowed to be, but I forgave them...for myself not for them

[@chaos-smurf9988]

Have only just had the courage to listen to this song in full. I spent years in therapy not understanding why i just couldn't bring myself to let go of the anger and let it damage me so much. I needed that anger to get myself free. I needed it to get me where i needed to be. And now ive freed myself, and proved to myself that i can live out his worst fears... that i can survive without him; i can finally work on forgiveness. The space the anger and fear and loneliness lived is now full of love for my little one, and admiration for my partner, and determination to prove im the one to end the generational trauma

[@tlrsmom]

So brave of you to release all of that anger. I wish I was able to do so.

[@chaos-smurf9988]

@@tlrsmom in all honesty I didn't even realise I'd released it until he tried to get back in touch and I sat back and looked at my little family and realised that he'd played a huge part in how I grew up and in my mental health and how I saw myself - but that was it. It wasn't the anger that was driving me anymore; it was love. Love for my partner who supported me through everything and love for my mum and my best friend and especially my little one. I didn't turn into who I'd dreamed of being, or who I was terrified of being, but the person I wished I'd had as a child. One day you'll get there I promise. You'll wake up and realise that you're free. In my mind it's not bravery or resilience, it's just finding peace after chaos. And i promise you, at some point you will find that peace too

[@littleclover2289]

Thank you so much for your music. I'm pretty sure this isn't about this but it resonates as the daughter of an abusive narcissistic mother. The daughter in me just wants her mom, for mama to just call me and say sorry for everything she did so I can forgive her and have a hug. I want that hug almost as much as I want my next breath. But then I see my daughter and realize how easy it is to not hurt her, to not cut her with my words or bruise her with my hands. So I think I will always deal with that stupid little internal war of the daughter who just wants to forgive her mother and a mother who can't because abuse is a choice.

[@princessjenn3369]

I've listened to this on repeat for nearly an hour now 💀🥺❤️

[@velavokitty6482]

This hit hard I've thought my mother was on my side when I was a child and experience sexual abuse and then right after I'd turn 18, going back to living with my mom. She was a narcissist and the case narrative I read and the things my family said what shes done was true. There so much more, but I've always ask my self if I'll ever get an apology and here we are ❤ ❤❤I love that you wrote this

[@clarrissakutil3002]

This.. just.... This. It resonates in my soul so fiercely. The silent pain and struggle to reconcile and come to terms. The painful realization you'll never get that apology and that to them it's just dust in the wind. The understanding that forgiveness doesn't mean it doesn't hurt. That forgiveness doesn't make it go away. But forgiving them helps you to heal. It hurts. Thank you for putting words to thoughts many of us cannot speak for ourselves

[@sarahdurkan8198]

As always telling my story in a song that resonates so well, I can’t say the last line about already being forgiven is quite something I’m ready to say, but I’m working on releasing the anger and letting go, but I’ve learnt forgiveness is for my own peace and not theirs and only destroys me. Sadly I just lost my nanna who was hurt by this person and it stirred up some bad feelings in the grieving process, my nanna was the mother to me my own could not be due to her own mental illness and unable to apologise for anything and my grandad who has been a dad to me also is so hurt by his own daughter we are both practising forgiveness to save our own heartaches ❤

Thank you, Rory, for making this song. It did bring me to tears as I understand the feeling in it as my family kept hurting me mentally until the day I stepped away.

what a beautiful and heartfelt song. It made me think of old family wounds. You are extremely brave and talented!

I cant even count how many times ive listened to this. And every time i get goosebumps and cry. Resonates so deeply for me. Being brought up by a narcissist and then finally finding my bio dad who ghosts me has been a hard journey and your music has always helped me. There are not many people in my life that understand my childhood or even adulthood issues. I feel like these songs are a friend that understand me completely and its so healing ❤ Im sorry you went through all this too

[@susanrobinson641]

Wow. Thank you for this one.

I am very happy I found this, it was at the right time. I've been so angry at my parent's for things that I know now weren't their choice/things they wanted. I wont ever get those apologies, they have both passed. I'm now having to learn to let go of that anger and forgive them and myself. This really helps ❤.
