[Verse 1] I held the door when your hands were full Stayed up late when the rent came due I meant the good in the things I did Still kept a few things back from you [Pre-Chorus] I can name every kindness I can name what I broke Both are true in the same chest Both are mine to hold [Chorus] Am I good, am I trying? I have loved and I have lied I have left you with the pieces I have stayed here by your side If I face what I have done And make the next thing right Is there room for me to change Without calling wrong things right? [Verse 2] I watched your face go still at my excuse Heard the silence after “I’m sorry” A promise isn’t payment for the hurt And shame won’t make a better story [Pre-Chorus] I can’t undo the damage I can choose what follows now Tell the truth without a curtain Learn to listen, learn how [Chorus] Am I good, am I trying? I have loved and I have lied I have left you with the pieces I have stayed here by your side If I face what I have done And make the next thing right Is there room for me to change Without calling wrong things right? [Bridge] Maybe goodness isn’t spotless Maybe it’s the work I do When the mirror shows the damage I don’t turn away from you [Final Chorus] I am flawed, I am trying I won’t hide behind the good I will name the ways I failed you And repair what can be stood I can’t promise I’m an angel I can choose the honest light There is room for me to change If I keep making it right [Outro] One true word, one step, one day I can meet myself that way
