[Verse 1] You missed the turn, the whole room waited Your careful plan came back misdated You read their faces like a verdict One wrong step, and now you’re certain [Pre-Chorus] But a promise bent is not a heart gone bad You can own the hurt without becoming that [Chorus] I let you down; I’m still a person I got it wrong; I can make it right A cracked cup still can hold the water A hard day doesn’t name your life I let you down; I’m still a person Say it once, then say it twice [Verse 2] The school call came at half past seven Your keys were right there by the lemons You said, “I’m sorry,” plain and steady No grand excuse, just show up ready [Pre-Chorus] Their disappointment may be real and true It doesn’t turn your whole heart into something cruel [Chorus] I let you down; I’m still a person I got it wrong; I can make it right A cracked cup still can hold the water A hard day doesn’t name your life I let you down; I’m still a person Say it once, then say it twice [Bridge] Take the blame for what you broke Leave the shame that says you are More than one mistake can hold More than one small, stubborn scar [Instrumental: odd-meter turn, tom-heavy breakdown] [Final Chorus] I let you down; I’m still a person I got it wrong; I can make it right A cracked cup still can hold the water A hard day doesn’t name your life I let you down; I’m still a person Say it once, then say it twice [Outro] Still a person Still can make it right
