[Verse 1]
I slam doors like a teenager
You just stand there, staying kind
You should have married you a grown man
Not a storm that changes mind
You’re making dinner in the kitchen
I’m pouting out in my truck
You keep giving me your patience
I keep messing it up
[Chorus]
I’m sorry for the way I am
For every time I made you cry
For all the words I threw like gravel
Watching you just walk outside
You deserve a steady harbor
Not a boy still learning how to be
If you’ll hold my hand a little longer
I swear, I’m gonna rebuild me
[Verse 2]
You say, “Talk to me, I’m listening”
I just mumble, shut you out
Turn my hurt into a hammer
Hit the ones who help me out
But I’m tired of breaking good things
Tired of watching you go quiet
I want to be the man you needed
Not the reason for the silence
[Chorus]
I’m sorry for the way I am
For every time I made you cry
For all the nights you faced the bedroom wall
Just asking God why
You deserve a steady harbor
Not a boy still learning how to be
If you’ll hold my hand a little longer
I swear, I’m gonna rebuild me
[Bridge]
I’ll learn to breathe before I speak
Count to ten and listen deep
Lay my pride down at your feet
If you’ll keep believing in me (oh, please)
[Chorus]
I’m sorry for the way I am
But I won’t stay the man I’ve been
I’ll turn every “I’m so sorry”
To “look how far we’ve come since then”
You deserve a steady harbor
And I want to be that finally
If you’ll give this heart one more chance, love
I promise I’ll rebuild me
