No Excuses

I made mistakes, and I know I hurt you Everything I did, I wish I could undo I didn’t listen when you tried to warn me My pride and ego blinded what I should see I put you in danger, I put you at risk I chased power, and I let go of what’s pure If I’d taken the noose, none of this would’ve happened You wouldn’t be facing the pain I made you live No excuses, I failed you completely If I’d done right, we’d be somewhere safely All the pain, all the fear I caused I’m sorry for everything, no matter the cost I wanted to give you the life you deserved But I let my choices destroy what we could’ve preserved I ran too long, always watching my back While you waited for a man who’d have your back I wanted to give you everything, all you needed But I let the streets and my pride take the lead If I’d listened, if I’d been strong enough We’d be somewhere safe, we’d have had love Instead, I left scars that will never fade And now I’m here, with nothing left to say No excuses, I failed you completely If I’d done right, we’d be somewhere safely All the pain, all the fear I caused I’m sorry for everything, no matter the cost I wanted to give you the life you deserved But I let my choices destroy what we could’ve preserved I see the life we could have had in my mind Simple mornings, laughter, no chaos behind But I chose danger, I chose pride and control I let my ambition take the love of my soul I wanted to give you peace, safety, and calm Instead I brought storms, pain, and harm Every choice I made only pushed you away And left me haunted by every day If I could go back, I’d undo it all Take every hit, every fall But I can’t, and that’s the hardest truth I put you in danger, I stole our youth No excuses, it’s my fault, my shame I carry the guilt, I carry the blame Every tear, every fear, every sleepless night Was born from my ego, my wrongs, my fight No excuses, I failed you completely If I’d done right, we’d be somewhere safely All the pain, all the fear I caused I’m sorry for everything, no matter the cost I wanted to give you the life you deserved But I let my choices destroy what we could’ve preserved If I’d taken the noose, none of this would’ve happened You wouldn’t have carried the weight of me
