[Verse 1] I left the cabinet door half open And the kettle cooled beside the sink You said, "Don't promise what you can't hold" So I stopped to give it room to breathe [Pre-Chorus] No grand reply, no polished speech Just one more step within my reach [Chorus] I'm taking the time to make it right Not with a rush, not overnight I'll show up steady, I'll learn your side And let the small repairs decide If what we broke can still hold tight I'm taking the time to make it right [Verse 2] I wrote your number on the grocery list Under the bread and coffee beans A little proof in an ordinary place That change is more than what it seems [Pre-Chorus] I won't erase the harder days I'll meet them honestly, face to face [Chorus] I'm taking the time to make it right Not with a rush, not overnight I'll show up steady, I'll learn your side And let the small repairs decide If what we broke can still hold tight I'm taking the time to make it right [Bridge] If you need distance, I won't chase If you need answers, I'll stay in place No perfect ending I can design Just better choices, one at a time [Final Chorus] I'm taking the time to make it right With open hands and a clearer mind I'll show up steady, I'll learn your side And let the small repairs decide If what we broke can still hold tight I'm taking the time to make it right Yes, I'm taking the time to make it right [Outro] The kettle warms, the morning starts Slowly mending what we are
