Wish We Had More Time

[Intro]
Late call
White walls
Your name
On the screen
[Verse 1]
We were storms in a small house
Broken plates
Broken vows on the floor
Every word was a drawn sword
Every night
One more slammed door
You were glass in your own hands
Cutting deep just to feel you were there
I learned anger like a language
Fluent child of your despair
[Chorus]
Wish we had more time
One slow morning
One clear sky
To say the things we left behind
You hurt me
Yeah
But you tried
And I forgive you
I forgive you
Wish we had more time
But all I have is this goodbye
[Verse 2]
Found your note in a drawer box
Folded tight with a hospital tag
“Sorry I was never sober
Sorry I became my dad”
All those years that I cursed you
I never saw how alone you stood
Tiny woman against that darkness
Holding back what little good you could
[Chorus]
Wish we had more time
One slow morning
One clear sky
To say the things we left behind
You hurt me
Yeah
But you tried
And I forgive you
I forgive you
Wish we had more time
But all I have is this goodbye
[Bridge]
You did the best you could with bleeding hands (oh)
I see that now
I see that now
I was just a kid who didn’t understand
How your own heart dragged you down
So take this song as a last embrace
All that anger turned to grace
I carry your name like a battle cry
I’ll love you loud
Till the day I die
[Chorus]
Wish we had more time
One slow morning
One clear sky
To say the things we left behind
You hurt me
Yeah
But you tried
And I forgive you
(Yeah, I forgive you)
Wish we had more time
So I’ll live my life
