Rebuild What I Broke

[Intro] I know I let the quiet grow between us I saw the cracks and called them weather But you were reaching, and I was somewhere else I’m here now [Verse 1] You left a plate beside the kitchen sink A note beneath it saying, "Tell me what you think" I read it twice, then set it on the shelf Like I could postpone the truth and still respect myself Your calls went cold, my answers came late I kept protecting pride while we stood at the gate You gave me room, I gave you distance Now I’m counting every choice that put us in this position [Pre-Chorus] I won’t dress it up, I won’t make excuses You needed my heart, I handed you the bruises If there’s a door still open in your mind I’ll meet you there and leave my ego behind [Chorus] I’m sorry for the nights you felt alone For making our home feel nothing like home I can’t erase what I put you through But I can show up different, starting with you No more promises tossed into the air I’ll do the little things, I’ll stay right there If you let me try, I’ll rebuild what I broke One honest day at a time, one word at a time, one hope [Verse 2] I’ll learn the way your tired silence sounds Ask what you need before I try to turn it around Put my phone face down when you’re talking to me Keep the plans I make, be the man I said I’d be We don’t need a perfect room or a movie scene Just clean truth on the table, just you and me I know trust is a mile, not a sentence I can say So watch me take the first step, then the next one every day [Pre-Chorus] I won’t call it love if I leave you carrying I won’t ask for peace while I keep disappearing If there’s a door still open in your mind I’ll meet you there and leave my ego behind [Chorus] I’m sorry for the nights you felt alone For making our home feel nothing like home I can’t erase what I put you through But I can show up different, starting with you No more promises tossed into the air I’ll do the little things, I’ll stay right there If you let me try, I’ll rebuild what I broke One honest day at a time, one word at a time, one hope [Bridge] You don’t owe me a yes tonight You don’t have to make my wrong feel right Take your time, I’ll respect the space I’ll prove the change before I ask for grace And if your heart can’t come back where it’s been I’ll still be grateful for the love I neglected then But if you reach, I’ll reach back too With both hands open, nothing left to hide from you [Final Chorus] I’m sorry for the nights you felt alone For making our home feel nothing like home I can’t erase what I put you through But I can show up different, starting with you No more promises tossed into the air I’ll do the little things, I’ll stay right there If you let me try, I’ll rebuild what I broke One honest day at a time, one word at a time, one hope [Outro] I’m not asking you to forget I’m asking for the chance to be better And I’ll make the answer visible Every day I’m beside you
