Sorry I Let You Down

[Intro]

Yeah

I know you tired of this

I know you heard it all before

But hear me one more time

[Verse 1]

I been running from my shadow since the playground

Mama praying in the kitchen, say she stay down

I kept saying, “I got us,” from the background

But that money came in late and you checked out

Missed calls on my phone, you was reaching

I was outside chasing ghosts on the weekend

Each lie stacked up like a sequence

Now trust feels thin, paper creasing

[Chorus]

I’m sorry I let you down

Put my pain on you, dragged you through my drought

You believed in me when I had my doubts

You held me up, I still checked out

I’m sorry I let you down

All these scars I never talked about

You saw the king where I saw a clown

I’m tryna make it right from the ground, right now

[Verse 2]

You remember air mattress in the small room

Ramen on the stove, sharing one spoon

We would laugh like the world couldn’t touch us

Now I scroll through your page, feel the crush hit

I was raised where “I love you” felt awkward

So I showed it in the worst ways, bad posture

Bent low from the weight of the past tense

I gave anger when you asked for a soft hand

[Pre-Chorus]

You said, “You ain’t gotta fight every battle”

But I only knew how to break what I handled

I poured liquor on the hurt, called it healing

Watched your bright eyes turn to distance

[Chorus]

I’m sorry I let you down

Put my pain on you, dragged you through my drought

You believed in me when I had my doubts

You held me up, I still checked out

I’m sorry I let you down

All these scars I never talked about

You saw the king where I saw a clown

I’m tryna make it right from the ground, right now

[Bridge]

I ain’t asking you to wait on a ghost (oh no)

I ain’t asking you to wait on a ghost (oh no)

If you move on, I’ll just pray that you glow

But if you ever need a shoulder to hold

You know my number still saved in your phone

I’m still learning how to speak from the soul

How to stay when the pressure get cold

If I get it right, if I finally grow

You the first one I’ma show

[Chorus]

I’m sorry I let you down

Put my pain on you, dragged you through my drought

You believed in me when I had my doubts

You held me up, I still checked out

I’m sorry I let you down

All these scars I never talked about

If you hear this and you feel that sound

It’s my heart on the line right now, right now
