I'll Make It Right

[Verse 1]
I missed your call, I said I’d be there
The soup went cold beside the stairs
You waited with your coat on tight
I let you down; I see that right

[Pre-Chorus]
I can own the hurt I caused
Without turning hurt to law
One bad choice is something done
Not the whole of who I’ve become

[Chorus]
I made a mess, I’ll make it right
I won’t call myself a monster tonight
You can be hurt; I’ll hear you through
And still be someone worth coming back to
I’m not the worst thing I have done
I’m learning how to face someone

[Verse 2]
I dropped the keys, forgot the date
I let a small mistake grow late
Your quiet face said more than words
I stayed to listen, though it hurt

[Pre-Chorus]
I can name the harm I caused
Without wearing it as law
I can ask what repair requires
Then begin with what’s still mine

[Chorus]
I made a mess, I’ll make it right
I won’t call myself a monster tonight
You can be hurt; I’ll hear you through
And still be someone worth coming back to
I’m not the worst thing I have done
I’m learning how to face someone

[Bridge]
If I disappoint you, let me know
I won’t disappear or make a show
I’ll take the truth, and take my part
A cracked promise isn’t a broken heart

[Breakdown]
I was wrong
I am here
I can change
I can hear

[Final Chorus]
I made a mess, I’ll make it right
I won’t call myself a monster tonight
You can be hurt; I’ll hear you through
And still be someone worth coming back to
I’m not the worst thing I have done
I’m learning how to face someone

[Outro]
I’m more than the worst thing I have done
I’m here, I’ll listen, I’ll begin again
