[Verse 1] You leave your coat beside the door Like you might come back for it I know the way you hold your breath When someone asks if you’re alright I want to sit with every ache And give each one a place to rest But every hand I reach for finds There’s only one of me tonight [Pre-Chorus] I could stay until the morning I could hear you through the night But the room is full of hurting And my arms can’t make them wide [Chorus] I want to be the love that broken hearts deserve A steady place to land, a shelter from the worst I’d give you all the tenderness I have inside of me But I can’t be in a thousand rooms I’m only one, I’m only one [Verse 2] Your message waits at half past ten Another friend says, “Please don’t go” I count the names I couldn’t call And feel the weight of every no If I could split my heart in two Then split the halves again for you But morning comes, the phone lights up And I am still one person, too [Pre-Chorus] I could stay until the morning I could hear you through the night But the room is full of hurting And my arms can’t make them wide [Chorus] I want to be the love that broken hearts deserve A steady place to land, a shelter from the worst I’d give you all the tenderness I have inside of me But I can’t be in a thousand rooms I’m only one, I’m only one [Bridge] So take the little I can offer A cup of tea, an honest call I can’t carry every sorrow But I won’t pretend yours is small [Final Chorus] I want to be the love that broken hearts deserve A steady place to land, a shelter from the worst I’ll give you all the tenderness I have inside of me Though I can’t be in a thousand rooms I’m only one, but I am here I’m only one, and I am here [Outro] One hand, one heart Here with you
