Prompt:

[Verse 1] I left your message waiting by the kitchen door Then drove past the bend where we laughed before Your blue cup still sits beside the sink It tells me more than I want to think [Pre-Chorus] I was proud, I was careless, I let the moment pass Now every mile between us feels like broken glass [Chorus] Perdona, I’m asking you tonight For the words I swallowed and the wrongs I tried to hide Perdona, if your heart can make some room I’ll bring back the patience I should have given you No grand promises, no borrowed alibi Just me at your door, looking you in the eye [Verse 2] I found your old note inside my coat Three little lines that kept us both afloat You said, “Don’t let silence choose our way” I understand those words today [Pre-Chorus] I was stubborn, I was frightened, I mistook defense for strength But love is built in ordinary days, one honest breath at length [Chorus] Perdona, I’m asking you tonight For the words I swallowed and the wrongs I tried to hide Perdona, if your heart can make some room I’ll bring back the patience I should have given you No grand promises, no borrowed alibi Just me at your door, looking you in the eye [Bridge] If you need time, I’ll wait beside the garden wall If you need truth, I’ll answer every call I can’t erase the hurt or change the road behind But I can choose you clearly, one day at a time [Final Chorus] Perdona, I’m asking you tonight Let the morning find us with the curtains open wide Perdona, I will meet you where you are With a quieter heart and a promise kept in small parts No grand promises, no borrowed alibi Just me at your door, looking you in the eye [Outro] Perdona, perdona I’m here, and I won’t run
