[Verse 1]
I know I did you wrong, I can't deny
Left you standing in the rain, wondering why
Your tears fell like the river running wild
And I just turned my back, a selfish child
[Chorus]
How can I ever make it up to you?
When the words feel small, and the hurt cuts through
Maybe this old guitar and a melody true
Could be my way to make it up to you
[Verse 2]
That steel guitar moans like a heart torn apart
The fiddle cries low, like the ache in my heart
Piano notes drop, soft as your whispered pain
Banjo keeps time, like the pounding of the rain
[Prechorus]
I know it's late, but I'll try somehow
To heal the harm, starting here and now
[Chorus]
How can I ever make it up to you?
When the words feel small, and the hurt cuts through
Maybe this old guitar and a melody true
Could be my way to make it up to you
[Bridge]
I see your shadow in the pale porch light
I hear your voice in the wind at night
If I could rewind, I’d make it all right
But here I am, singing my wrongs in the twilight
