Lyrics
-Verse 1-
I want you to know
I have fallen on my own
I have failed to be all the things you need
I want you to see
I?ll get back eventually
There?s just someone I?ve forgotten to be
-Chorus (2x)-
(So)
Be still my heart
I want you to know
I?m coming home again
One of these days
-Verse 2-
I want you to know
I admit that I was wrong
I could never hide the truth from you
I want you to see
There?s a change inside of me
Not just words or intentions but what I do
-Chorus (2x)-
-Bridge-
What I?m trying to say
Is that I?m sorry, I?m sorry
For all of my ways
No I?m not a perfect man
But I?m learning
I?m learning to change
I?m learning from my mistakes
That is why I say
-Chorus (2x)-
-Coda (2x)-
Be still my heart
Home again
One of these days
