Damage I Made Songtext
von Tim Laman

I said too much when I should have stayed
Words kept falling, sense walked away
I signed my name under things I meant
Then blamed the time for what I spent

I thought I was honest, I thought I was fair
But truth gets thin when you don′t stay there

This is the part I never rehearsed
Learning the cost by making it worse
I don't ask for pardon, I don′t ask to be saved
I just sit with the damage I made


I chose the easy line to explain
Called it reason, it was just delay
I watched you wait while I stood still
Calling it patience, it was will

I kept my distance, called it control
But distance has a way of taking its toll

This is the part I never rehearsed
Learning the cost by making it worse
I don't ask for pardon, I don't ask to be saved
I just sit with the damage I made

If I could return without rewriting you
I′d speak less certain, but more true
No grand correction, no final scene
Just owning what stood in between


This is the weight I carry awake
Not what I lost, but what I didn′t take
No clean ending, no debt erased
Just living with the choices I made
