[Verse] The porch light flickers soft, it’s half past eight Your shadow’s in the doorway, but you hesitate I’m sittin’ here with a glass, sweet tea in my hand Wish I could find the words that you’d understand [Pre-Chorus] The peach cobbler’s warm, but it don’t fill the space Between my heart and yours, in this quiet place [Chorus] So let me say I’m sorry, in the way I know With every slow sip, I hope the feeling grows Like sugar in the tea, melting through the night I’m reachin’ for your heart in the fading light [Verse] The radio hums low, a soul song on repeat Every note a memory, bittersweet I catch your eye just once, but it’s not enough To break the silence, to soften the rough [Pre-Chorus] The peach cobbler’s warm, but it don’t fill the space Between my heart and yours, in this quiet place [Chorus] So let me say I’m sorry, in the way I know With every slow sip, I hope the feeling grows Like sugar in the tea, melting through the night I’m reachin’ for your heart in the fading light [Bridge] If love’s a gentle river, I’m learnin’ how to flow Through the cracks in our silence, I’m letting you know With every taste of sweetness, there’s a hope that lingers still In this quiet apology, I’m tryin’ to heal [Chorus] So let me say I’m sorry, in the way I know With every slow sip, I hope the feeling grows Like sugar in the tea, melting through the night I’m reachin’ for your heart in the fading light [Outro] The porch light flickers soft, it’s half past eight I’m here with my sweet tea and a heart that waits
