[Verse 1] I found the note beneath the kitchen glass Three missed calls and a question I let pass I could name the weather, blame the week But the truth is closer than it seems [Pre-Chorus] No borrowed alibi No polished little lie I know the door I closed I know who paid the cost [Chorus] I will say it plain, I was wrong I will stay when the easy road is gone Not asking you to make it disappear I’ll do the work and meet you here One small repair, then another one Responsibility is where I start [Verse 2] I brought the broken handle to the shop Paid the bill and called before I stopped Your name was on my screen at half past ten This time I picked it up and listened in [Pre-Chorus] No promise made for show No quick forgiveness owed I can’t rewrite the past But I can change what happens next [Chorus] I will say it plain, I was wrong I will stay when the easy road is gone Not asking you to make it disappear I’ll do the work and meet you here One small repair, then another one Responsibility is where I start [Bridge] If trust returns, it won’t arrive on cue It will grow in what I consistently do A morning kept, a truth told, a hand held out The quiet proof is stronger than a vow [Final Chorus] I will say it plain, I was wrong I will stay and keep the promise moving on Not asking you to carry what I broke I’ll bring the patience, not another excuse One small repair, then another one Responsibility is where I start [Outro] Where I start Where I stay I’ll make it right in the choices I make
