[Intro]
Sittin' here in this quiet room,
Old wounds makin' their tune,
Reflecting on days gone by,
Tears threaten to unchain a lie.
[Verse 1]
Grew up on dust and broken dreams,
Worked my hands to the bone, it seems,
Married young, with hope so bright,
Chased the dollar into the night.
[Pre-Chorus]
Forgot the laughter, missed the calls,
Lost in the race, till the curtain falls.
My heart’s been heavy with the weight of what I missed,
Wish I could turn back time, and relive those days with a twist.
[Chorus]
Sorry for the lonely nights,
For the times I wasn’t there,
Sorry for the distant eyes,
For the love I never shared,
Now I lay here, understanding,
The pain I caused, I see,
Let me hold my family close tonight,
Let them find forgiveness in me.
[Verse 2]
Saw my boy, lost in his own way,
Despised his steps, missed what he’d say,
My girl looked up with trusting eyes,
But I ignored the tears she always cried.
[Pre-Chorus]
The divorce, the broken ties,
Left a scar that never dies,
All my pride, all my fear,
Now I wish I’d held them near.
[Bridge]
Hospital bed, quiet prayers,
Memories float up in the air,
Hearts forgiving, but too slow,
Time's the one thing I don’t know.
[Outro]
So here I am, with just my voice,
Hoping one last time, they'd hear my choice,
To say I’m sorry, with all my heart,
Before my story falls apart.
[End]
Goodbye, my family, I love you still,
Regrets and love, I hope fulfill.
