[Verse] Standing by the doorway, shadows on the wall Eyes that weigh a thousand words, but barely say a call I feel the silence hanging, like a cloud before the rain Trying to find a way to break, this quiet strain [Pre-Chorus] But I won’t back down, no, I won’t run away I’m here for more than just this moment you betray [Chorus] Judge me if you must, but you don’t know my heart I’m here to love your daughter, I’m ready for the part Don’t close the door, open up and see The man I’m trying to be, the man I’m trying to be [Verse] Every glance a question, every breath a test I’m not the one you picture, just give me time to rest In all the stories told and all the fears you hold There’s a simple truth I’m reaching for, soft and bold [Pre-Chorus] I won’t back down, no, I won’t run away I’m here to build a future, not just make a play [Chorus] Judge me if you must, but you don’t know my heart I’m here to love your daughter, I’m ready for the part Don’t close the door, open up and see The man I’m trying to be, the man I’m trying to be [Bridge] Maybe one day you’ll understand, what drives me and why I stand Right here, with open hands, asking only for a chance To show you who I am, beyond the surface glance [Chorus] Judge me if you must, but you don’t know my heart I’m here to love your daughter, I’m ready for the part Don’t close the door, open up and see The man I’m trying to be, the man I’m trying to be [Outro] Don’t close the door, just open up and see The man I’m trying to be, the man I’m trying to be
