[Intro]
Skyy, I know the road between us changed
But I still carry every promise that I made
[Verse 1]
I still see your name beside the school forms
Little shoes by the door, making room for new storms
We went from sharing a room to sharing calendars
Still showing up for the kids, even when the pain answers
I know I made mistakes, I won’t dress them in excuses
Some apologies get old when they never turn to uses
So I’m learning how to listen, how to pause before I speak
How to prove respect in the choices that I keep
I don’t want to pressure you or pull you back by force
I just want you to see I’m rebuilding from the source
Every morning I get up, try to be more steady
For the children, for myself, for the love that made me ready
You gave me pieces of a life I never knew I needed
Even through the ending, I won’t call that love defeated
If all we are is parents, I’ll still honor what we started
You deserve my best, not the version that departed
[Chorus]
Skyy, I’m trying, even when it doesn’t show
Taking every hard truth, letting old pride go
I respect your heart, your space, the road you choose
And I’ll keep becoming someone you don’t have to lose
For our kids, for the memories, for the love we knew
I won’t make a promise I can’t follow through
Whether life brings us back or teaches us goodbye
You’ll always be the reason I keep reaching higher
[Verse 2]
We can’t rewrite the nights or erase the sharp words
Can’t make a family heal just by saying that it hurts
But I can be consistent, be present, do my part
Keep the little ones protected from the cracks around our hearts
No more making you carry every weight alone
No more acting like silence means the problem’s gone
I’ll communicate with patience, keep my temper on a leash
Let my actions do the talking when my words feel out of reach
I respect the woman you became through every trial
The way you hold the family up and still find a smile
And if somebody asks me what you mean to me
I’ll say you’re part of every better thing I’m trying to be
Not because I’m asking for another chance tonight
But because loving you means learning to do right
If someday trust returns, I’ll meet it where it stands
If it doesn’t, I’ll still show up with open hands
[Chorus]
Skyy, I’m trying, even when it doesn’t show
Taking every hard truth, letting old pride go
I respect your heart, your space, the road you choose
And I’ll keep becoming someone you don’t have to lose
For our kids, for the memories, for the love we knew
I won’t make a promise I can’t follow through
Whether life brings us back or teaches us goodbye
You’ll always be the reason I keep reaching higher
[Bridge]
I’m not asking you to forget what hurt
I’m not asking for a clean slate just because I wrote these words
I’m asking you to watch me change in the ordinary days
The rides, the meals, the patience, all the quiet ways
And if the best thing I can give you is peace
Then I’ll learn to love you in a way that lets you breathe
[Final Chorus]
Skyy, I’m trying, and I mean it from my soul
Not to win an argument, but to finally grow whole
I respect your heart, your space, the road you choose
And I’ll keep becoming someone you don’t have to lose
For our kids, for the memories, for the love we knew
I’ll let my steady actions say what words can’t prove
Whether life brings us back or teaches us goodbye
You’ll always be the reason I keep reaching higher
[Outro]
So this isn’t a chain, and it isn’t a plea
It’s me honoring you and who I’m trying to be
Skyy, whatever comes, I’ll keep my promise true
I’ll show up for our children, and I’ll always respect you
