[Verse 1] I make a list beside the sink Of every promise left to keep Your lunchbox waits beside the keys While my own plans go stale and sleep [Pre-Chorus] One face says, “Stay. They need you here.” One face says, “Leave before you disappear.” I hear them arguing through my teeth Both wearing my name underneath [Chorus] I want a life that feels like mine I want your hand still holding mine I’m not a saint, I’m not a thief I’m trying to make room for all I love and all I need [Verse 2] The calendar is crowded blue A school-night call, a late bill due I laugh too loud, then miss the cue And hate the hurt I hand to you [Pre-Chorus] The selfish voice keeps score of days The kinder one still knows your face They trade the wheel, they pull me wide I’m trying not to choose a side [Chorus] I want a life that feels like mine I want your hand still holding mine I’m not a saint, I’m not a thief I’m trying to make room for all I love and all I need [Bridge] If I say yes, I lose a piece If I say no, I bruise the ones I keep So take this honest, unfinished heart I can’t be whole by coming apart [Final Chorus] I want a life that feels like mine I want your hand still holding mine No perfect answer, no clean release Just all of us, and a little room to breathe [Outro] A little room to breathe Stay close while I learn to leave One promise kept, one want confessed I love you all; I’m still becoming myself
