Sorry

(Verse 1)

I look at all the broken, damaged spaces

And know the weight and fault is partly mine

I’ve let my fears—the words I couldn’t find—

Build up these walls around the love we tried to twine

I’m sorry for the times I pulled away

Afraid to speak, so silence took the lead

And for the ways my tone would often stray

Losing the gentleness you truly need

(Chorus)

I’m working on the way I use my voice

To soften every word and how it’s heard

To make a kinder, more intentional choice

Leaving the anger and the heat blurred

I’m striving now to leave the cussing out

To speak with respect when things are feeling tense

To clear away the shadow of the doubt

And build a bridge instead of a defense

(Verse 2)

I know I have these things I need to mend

And I am ready for the work that’s due

So please, make my faults known to me, my babe

And show me how to better honor you

Just tell me what you need, and when, and how

And I will listen with an open, steady heart

I’m choosing us, and I am choosing now

To be the partner I’ve lacked the strength to start

(Bridge)

I love you more than every flaw and fear

I’m standing in the light, I’m staying here

No more pulling back, no more hiding in the dark

I’m here to fan the flame and keep the spark

(Chorus)

I’m working on the way I use my voice

To soften every word and how it’s heard

To make a kinder, more intentional choice

Leaving the anger and the heat blurred

I’m striving now to leave the cussing out

To speak with respect when things are feeling tense

To clear away the shadow of the doubt

And build a bridge instead of a defense

(Outro)

I love you more than every flaw and fear

I’m here to show you that my love is real

I’m here to show you...

My love is real.
