A single note opens the room like a door I’m scared to cross. Verse 1 I struck the moment wrong, didn’t see the weight, Caught your breath falter as the silence ate. If I could take back what I threw too fast, I’d speak with care instead of letting damage pass. Verse 2 You say you’re sorry, but it lands uncertain, Half-drawn words behind a shifting curtain. I need something solid I can lean against, Not soft intentions that come and relent. Pre-Chorus Tell me where the hurt begins in you— I’m reaching in; just tell me what’s true. Chorus Female: I’m sorry, but I know one word won’t turn us right. Male: Then show me that you’ll stay when the messy parts ignite. Both: We’re standing at the fault line, bracing for the call— If “sorry” starts the shift, then choose to risk it all. Verse 3 I’ve outrun myself, but the truth held on— Fear pulled me sideways until you felt gone. I’m here now, clearer, trying to restore What cracked between us when I shut the door. Verse 4 If you want my trust, then meet me awake, Stay through the nights when the old wounds shake. Love isn’t patched with a promise alone— It’s choosing the work when the doubt has grown. Bridge I’ll take every step, slow as you need, Proving with actions what my voice can’t plead. No quick return to where we once stood— I’ll walk the long route if it does you good. Bridge Response If you’re gonna stay, stay with conviction, No half-warm vows or thin-drawn fiction. Show me the spine in the love you claim— Stand in the glare and call my name. Chorus Female: I’m sorry, and I’m ready now to meet the fight. Male: Then hold on when it’s rough; don’t ghost me in the night. Both: We’re learning from the breaking, trying not to stall— If “sorry” starts the climb, we’ll rise before we fall. Outro Female: I’m sorry… Male: Then show me. Both: We’ll find our way slowly… together.
