[Verse 1] I left the gate unlatched again You found the rain inside the hall I had a reason, not a defense I heard the hinge, ignored it all [Pre-Chorus] The bill came folded in your hand I read it once; I understand [Chorus] I’ll own the mark I made I won’t ask the bruise to fade If the road bends back through blame I can walk it just the same I can lay the weight down slow Not erase it—let it go [Verse 2] I called it chance, I called it time You called me out, and you were right I can’t unspend that borrowed trust But I can meet the morning straight [Pre-Chorus] No clean escape, no grand excuse Just what I did, and what I choose [Chorus] I’ll own the mark I made I won’t ask the bruise to fade If the road bends back through blame I can walk it just the same I can lay the weight down slow Not erase it—let it go [Breakdown] I said it. I see it. I carry what is mine. [Final Chorus] I’ll own the mark I made I won’t ask the bruise to fade I’ll repair what I can reach Leave the rest where truth can teach I can lay the weight down slow Not erase it—let it go [Outro] The door is shut. The room is still. I’m here, and I can live with this.
