[Verse 1] You left your coat beside the chair Rain running silver from the seams I made a place and poured the tea No need to tell me what it means [Pre-Chorus] I could count the words that hurt Keep them folded in a drawer Or meet you where the silence ends And ask what we are waiting for [Chorus] Be gentle when the day goes wrong Make room for what we cannot see A little grace can carry us From who we were to who we’ll be I’ll hear the part you couldn’t say You’ll let my rough edges be We don’t have to win this moment We can choose to set it free [Verse 2] Your hands were shaking by the sink The old blue cup had lost its handle You told the truth without a shield I watched the stubborn anger settle [Pre-Chorus] Not every wound will close at once Not every sorry makes it right But we can start with honest words And leave a lamp on through the night [Chorus] Be gentle when the day goes wrong Make room for what we cannot see A little grace can carry us From who we were to who we’ll be I’ll hear the part you couldn’t say You’ll let my rough edges be We don’t have to win this moment We can choose to set it free [Bridge] Forgiving isn’t calling harm a kindness It’s laying down the stone I carried here It’s keeping what the lesson gave me And making space for something else to grow [Final Chorus] Be gentle when the day goes wrong Make room for what we cannot see A little grace can carry us From who we were to who we’ll be I’ll hear the part you couldn’t say You’ll let my rough edges be We don’t have to win this moment We can choose to set it free We can choose to set it free
