[Verse]
I spoke too sharp
Like a rusted blade
Left you bleeding
I was afraid
The words I threw
They tore the night
Now the silence cuts
No end in sight
[Chorus]
Forgive the man I am
Not the shadow I became
I’m kneeling in this quiet land
Calling out your name
Oh
Forgive the man I am
[Verse 2]
The road was long
But I walked it blind
Chased my pride
Left you behind
Your photograph
It whispers low
A love I lost
A seed I sow
[Prechorus]
Will the stars hold my regret?
Does the moon know what I’ve meant?
[Chorus]
Forgive the man I am
Not the shadow I became
I’m kneeling in this quiet land
Calling out your name
Oh
Forgive the man I am
[Bridge]
If I could trade these tears for time
I'd mend the cracks
Unwrite the rhyme
But clocks don’t stop
And hands don’t fold
Still I dream of you
The warmth I hold
