[Verse 1] Amongst the building blocks of youth I searched for you in truth As a branch to grab in the avalanche And I could never bring the same fire to match Playing house for twenty years The love was real, but misplaced by fear My mind shaping the word "us" into another cage Sledgehammer to the bedrock as my heart began to stray [Prechorus] I know I caused you heartache I know i caused you pain This is my apology letter And I'm standing with it in the rain [Chorus] And you can still reach for me in the silence Across the unspoken, widening space And I will hold a room open in this home And shield you in love's embrace [Post-Chorus] Yeah, the nature is much different Cause I love you like a sister The air is growing thicker With unsaid truths that still linger [Verse 2] You know, we had a good run Moments of perfection under temporary suns You're kind, caring, and always loyal Then there's me, last seen running out the foyer Were you waiting for me to get my shit together? My thoughts always serving stormy weather Trying to hold our edges in the tornado I know now that I could have just surrendered- let go [Prechorus] I know I caused you heartache I know I caused you pain This is my apology letter And I'm standing with it in the rain [Chorus] And you can still reach for me in the silence Across the unspoken, widening space And I will hold a room open in this home And shield you in love's embrace [Post-Chorus] Yeah, the nature is much different Cause I love you like a sister The air is growing thicker With unsaid truths that still linger [Bridge] In the margins I wrote I still sometimes feel your ghost Because you know we went from close To twenty words at most And I don't want to lose The one who helped me choose To love myself first Even when it seemed the worst And so I say to you This confession is true I never meant to hurt you I just had to start anew [Final Prechorus] I know I caused you heartache I know i caused you pain This is my apology letter And I'm standing with it in the rain [Final Chorus] And you can still reach for me in the silence Across the unspoken, widening space And I will hold a room open in this home And shield you in love's embrace [Outro] I wish only the best for you Everything you ever dreamed coming true Changing seasons and this time, I grew Thank you for being you
