Tim Ward Jr. - Anatomy

Was I clear?
Was I sincere?
I tried to say it in a way
That you might wanna hear

It didn't go
The way I'd hoped
You said my words lacked heart
They came apart
Like cheaply woven rope

Let's grab a blackboard and some chalk
I'll diagram it as you talk
Why don't you teach me how to see it
through your eyes?

Why don't you show me the anatomy of apology?
Let's break it down and walk it through methodically
And I may never be the man you think I ought to be
But I'm tryin' as best I can
To understand

Examinin'
This specimen
Dissecting words you say you heard
To find what lies within

Our fears and hopes
The ways we cope
Spread out on slides and analyzed
Under the microscope

Let's grab a blackboard and some chalk
I'll diagram it as you talk
Go on and teach me how to see it
Through your eyes

Go on and show me the anatomy of apology
Let's break it down and walk it through methodically
And I may never be the man you think I ought to be
But I'm tryin' as best I can
To understand

This laceration's waitin' on a suture
As I'm fumblin' for the words to mend our future
Oh and I don't have the perfect line
But I feel your wound as though its mine
Can we sew it back up with a stitch in time?

Can you show me the anatomy of apology
Let's break it down and walk it through methodically
And I may never be the man you think I ought to be
But I'm tryin' as best I can
Whoa, to understand
