Make Room to Mend

[Verse 1]
I signed my name beneath the damage
Left the door unlatched, the truth outside
You found the room the way I left it
I watched you gather what was mine

[Pre-Chorus]
I could dress it up as weather
Say the moment pulled me through
But the hand that turned the handle
Was my hand, and I knew

[Chorus]
I’ll take the weight of what I chose
No borrowed blame, no turning stone
I can’t undo the road behind
But I can meet it with open eyes
I’ll let the hard truth settle in
Make room for hurt, make room to mend
The past is mine; I won’t pretend
I’m still here, and I can begin

[Verse 2]
I brought the keys back on a Tuesday
Your old blue cup was by the sink
No grand apology could fix it
So I said what I had been afraid to think

[Pre-Chorus]
You don’t owe me your forgiveness
I don’t need to win the case
I can carry what I caused
And still learn to live with grace

[Chorus]
I’ll take the weight of what I chose
No borrowed blame, no turning stone
I can’t undo the road behind
But I can meet it with open eyes
I’ll let the hard truth settle in
Make room for hurt, make room to mend
The past is mine; I won’t pretend
I’m still here, and I can begin

[Outro]
I can begin, without a plea
At peace with what belongs to me
