Forgive Me Slowly

FORGIVE ME SLOWLY is a quiet confession.

A piano-led ballad about regret, accountability, and the long road back to yourself.
No excuses. No grand gestures. Just the courage to sit with what you’ve broken and ask for grace you may not deserve yet.

Built on sparse piano, gentle strings, and an intimate vocal that feels almost overheard, this song lives in the space between guilt and forgiveness — where healing doesn’t arrive all at once.

Sometimes love isn’t about being forgiven.
It’s about learning how to forgive yourself.

[Verse 1]

I was young when I made those choices
Didn't know the weight they'd hold
I was trying to find my footing
In a world that left me cold
I gave pieces of myself away
To people who would never stay
And I'm still learning how to live
With the parts I gave away

[Pre-Chorus]

I know I wasn't perfect
I know I let you down
But I was barely holding on
Just trying not to drown

[Chorus]

So forgive me slowly
Take your time with all my wrongs
I was lost and lonely
Just trying to belong
I didn't mean to hurt you
God knows I hurt myself the most
So forgive me slowly
That's all I'm asking for

[Verse 2]

There's no excuse for what I've done
No words to make it right
I see the damage in your eyes
Every time we fight
I was running from my shadows
Didn't know they'd follow me
Now I'm standing in the ruins
Of who I used to be

[Pre-Chorus]

I've been carrying this guilt
Like stones inside my chest
And all I'm asking now
Is for a little rest

[Chorus]

So forgive me slowly
Take your time with all my wrongs
I was lost and lonely
Just trying to belong
I didn't mean to hurt you
God knows I hurt myself the most
So forgive me slowly
That's all I'm asking for

[Bridge]

I can't change the past
Can't take back what I've said
But I'm trying to be better
Than the person in your head

[Building gently, emotional but controlled]

I know you're angry
And you have every right
But I'm still here hoping
That we'll be alright

[Tender, pleading]

Can you meet me halfway?
Can you help me find my way?

[Final Chorus]

So forgive me slowly
Take your time with all my wrongs
I was lost and lonely
Just trying to belong
I didn't mean to hurt you
God knows I hurt myself the most
So forgive me slowly
Please forgive me slowly
I know I've got so far to go
But I'm asking you to hold me
While I learn to let this go
I didn't mean to hurt you
Now I'm just trying to come home
So forgive me slowly
That's all I'm asking for

[Outro]

Forgive me slowly...
That's all I'm asking for...
Just forgive me slowly...
