[Intro]
Softly now, Sandile, hear my voice in the dawn light
I’m counting names of moments where I missed the right words to say
[Verse 1]
Sandile, you’re the laugh that lingers in the room
The small, quiet hands that hold me through the storm
I’m tracing all the tears I caused with careless tunes
Let me mend the light I dimmed with my own thunder above
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m learning how to listen with the heart I swore I’d protect
To swap my hollow phrases for something true and direct
[Chorus]
I’m sorry for the songs I sang too fast, too blind
I’m sorry for the corners I didn’t see in your light
If you’ll forgive me, I’ll slow down and be here tonight
With you, Sandile, I’ll learn to be gentler, I’ll get it right
[Verse 2]
Your laughter is a lighthouse when the evenings grow dark
A quiet harbor where I lay my wandering at your feet
I want to be the steady shore you always know you can park
To whisper promises till the dawn spills its soft heat
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m listening deeper now, no more glamour in my glee
Just honest words and steady hands, a real beside-thee
[Chorus]
I’m sorry for the songs I sang too fast, too blind
I’m sorry for the corners I didn’t see in your light
If you’ll forgive me, I’ll slow down and be here tonight
With you, Sandile, I’ll learn to be gentler, I’ll get it right
[Bridge]
Let’s laugh again at the little things we share
A thousand whispers, a breath of the same air
I’ll cradle your mornings with patience, I swear
Till every day feels like home, till you’re finally aware
[Chorus]
I’m sorry for the songs I sang too fast, too blind
I’m sorry for the corners I didn’t see in your light
If you’ll forgive me, I’ll slow down and be here tonight
With you, Sandile, I’ll learn to be gentler, I’ll get it right
[Outro]
Sandile, stay with me, in the warmth of our quiet space
I’m listening, I’m changing, I’m choosing your grace
