Tomorrow’s Still a Door

[Verse 1]
I found your old notes in the kitchen drawer
A list of names and apologies
Some lines crossed out, some left waiting
Like doors I never learned to close

[Pre-Chorus]
You say the good should count for something
I say the hurt still has a name
Can one kind hand undo the damage?
Can one bad night define the whole frame?

[Chorus]
Can I call myself a good person
When I know the ways I let you down?
I’ve held somebody up through winter
I’ve left somebody cold somehow
If I face the whole of what I’ve done
And try to make the next thing right
Can I be more than my worst moment?
Can I earn that name tonight?

[Verse 2]
I took the late bus back to your street
With the book you lent me in the rain
I didn’t knock; I stood there thinking
An apology can’t cancel pain

[Pre-Chorus]
You say the good should count for something
I say the hurt still has a name
Maybe change is not a clean slate
Maybe it’s choosing not to do it again

[Chorus]
Can I call myself a good person
When I know the ways I let you down?
I’ve held somebody up through winter
I’ve left somebody cold somehow
If I face the whole of what I’ve done
And try to make the next thing right
Can I be more than my worst moment?
Can I earn that name tonight?

[Bridge]
No halo, no excuse
Just the truth I have to use
I can’t rewrite what came before
But I can choose what I’m here for

[Screamo]
I AM NOT THE HARM I CAUSED!
I’LL OWN THE DEBT, I’LL FACE THE COST!

[Final Chorus]
I won’t call myself a good person
Just to bury what I put you through
I’ll show up where I failed you
And let my actions speak the truth
If I face the whole of what I’ve done
And keep on trying to make things right
Maybe goodness is a practice
I can choose again tonight

[Outro]
The list stays in the drawer
But tomorrow’s still a door
