How can someone get mad at something that is from the heart? Especially if it's a song performed live for a relationship that ended good?

We have been hanging out and I thought things were bouncing back slowely. Alot of things have happened in the 1 month split in her life. I've been super supportive and a patient true best friend. I wrote this song about her hometown in Europe and also I had some of her own native language in their. It was a song about how her kiss makes me feel. Before the end of the song, she went to the bathroom. She cameback and told me she was angry at me? Later on I told her I am an artist, and this is how I express myself. I am wondering if she really didn;t want to even show her emotions around her friends, as maybe she wanted to hide it?
I will prob. see her this weekend, on sunday. I told a friend about this and she was shocked what girl WOULD NOT want a song about them, or inspired by them, etc.
Where to go from here? I do not want to apologize too much, because well, I did it with pure honest intentions.

What's in one heart is not always what's in another. Your gesture was honest and from the heart, and you should be proud of that. But a month isn't a long time. When someone's heart is aching, it's a wonderful thing to have a friend to share it with. When you performed the song publicly, you were also exposing her heart publicly, something she may not have been ready to do. I'll bet that if you had sung it to her privately first, her reaction would have been quite different. Give her time. Don't apologize for writing the song - it was a very sweet thing to do. But if her feelings were hurt by having it shared openly before she was ready, perhaps that does warrant an apology. Make sure she understands what your intentions were. Assure her that in the future you'll share that kind of a thing with her first, before you share it with so many other people. You're right, don't spend too much time apologizing. A sincere apology only needs to be given once. Just be sensitive to her privacy.
