Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] I still keep your crayon note Crooked heart My name in blue It's folded in my wallet Every road still leads to you I missed braces Birthdays Stories All the small Important things I was lost and I was stubborn You got left with all the sting [Chorus] I can't give back all the days I missed But I can give you every day from this one on If you ever want to hear my side I'll sit quiet till you talk Then I'll hold on You don't owe me one more minute I know I'm the one who broke it first But my girl If you let me I will spend my life Paying back the years I owe you [Verse 2] Maybe all you see is damage A slammed door A leaving car But there was fear inside that silence And a man who fell apart I won't ask you to excuse it You can call it what it was I just hope you know In all that mess You were never what I left [Chorus] I can't give back all the days I missed But I can give you every day from this one on If you ever want to hear my side I'll sit quiet till you talk Then I'll hold on You don't owe me one more minute I know I'm the one who broke it first But my girl If you let me I will spend my life Paying back the years I owe you [Bridge] If you call me in the midnight Or in ten years Gray in your hair I'll still answer on the first ring Just to say "I'm here I'm here" (yeah) You can scream Or you can whisper You can meet me You can stay I will love you from a distance Till you let me close someday [Chorus] I can't give back all the days I missed But I can give you every day from this one on If you ever want to hear my side I'll sit quiet till you talk Then I'll hold on You don't owe me one more minute I know I'm the one who broke it first But my girl If you let me I will spend my life Every breath I have Paying back the years I owe you

folk, Warm acoustic ballad with male vocals, fingerpicked guitar and soft upright bass; verses stay close and confessional, almost spoken, then chorus blooms with gentle piano chords, light strings, and stacked harmonies. Subtle brushes on snare lift the second chorus; bridge strips back to near a cappella before a final, tender chorus swell.
