[Intro – soft piano / clean guitar]
I was blind, I was cruel
Thought I was strong, but I played the fool
Now the silence screams louder than my pride
And I can’t hide from the truth inside
[Verse 1 – quiet, steady build]
I spent my days chasing shadows in the night
Blinded by pride, too stubborn to see the light
You held out your hand, I let it slip away
Now I’m haunted by the words I should’ve said yesterday
[Pre-Chorus – strings rise]
I was a fool, too lost in my own head
Never saw the tears, never heard the things you said
But time has burned me, carved the truth into my skin
I can’t erase the past, but I won’t fail again
[Chorus – full band hits]
I was a moron, but now I finally see
The only thing I’ve ever wanted was you with me
I’m sorry it took this long, sorry I let you down
But I’ve learned the weight of love, and I won’t drop it now
[Verse 2 – softer, then building]
I remember your eyes, the way they used to shine
When you looked at me like I was worth the time
But I traded your faith for a reckless fight
And I’ve hated myself for every wasted night
[Verse 3 – quiet / stripped down]
I built these walls thinking I was safe inside
But love can’t breathe where the heart is denied
Now I’m tearing them down, brick by brick in shame
Praying you still hear me calling your name
[Bridge – tension, emotional rise]
If I could steal the hands of time, I’d turn it back for you
Erase the pain, rewrite the truth
But the past won’t change, so I’ll change what I can do
I’ll spend forever proving I was made to love you
[Breakdown – soft vocals, piano only]
I know words are easy, but I’ll show you more
Every promise I make, I’ll carve into the floor
No more running, no more doubt in my mind
I was lost without you, but love has made me find—
[Final Chorus – full emotional explosion]
I was a moron, but now I finally see
The only thing I’ve ever wanted was you with me
I’m sorry it took this long, sorry I let you down
But I’ve learned the weight of love, and I won’t drop it now
[Outro – broken, stripped down]
I can’t stand tall, I’m falling apart
On the floor with the weight of my heart
Every breath hurts, every second’s untrue
If I don’t have you… I don’t have a clue
Tears on my hands, I can barely speak
I’m shattered, I’m humbled, I’m down on my knees
No pride, no armor, nothing left to hide
I need you to live… I need you tonight.
