Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Maybe I make things a mess
And maybe you're right to have doubts in me
Maybe, but nevertheless
If you for once could just trust me
[Verse 2]
Just this once, let me come through for you
The way that you want me to
[Verse 3]
Let me make you proud
Let me show you the best in me
Let me give you a reason to believe
That I can stand tall
[Verse 4]
And when I return
And I'm more than you dreamt I'd be
Maybe then you will realize
That you never actually knew me at all
[Verse 5]
Sure, I've made lots of mistakes
I know that I've disappointed you
Still though, whatever it takes
I'm gonna fix it, just watch me
[Verse 6]
Just you wait, I'll make it up to you
If it's the last thing I ever do
[Verse 7]
I will make you proud
I will make you have faith in me
I will prove that the way I used to be
Is all in the past
[Verse 8]
I will save the day
And come back here triumphantly
'Cause I long for that look of surprise
When you see your son rising at last
The pride in your eyes
When you see your son rising at last
