[Verse 1] I said yes in the hallway, yes on the phone Left my coat at your place, took the long way home Two plans in my pocket, three names on my screen I kept every promise but misplaced the in-between [Pre-Chorus] If I stop being useful, what stays? If I turn off the calendar, what remains? [Chorus] I’ve given my hours away like loose change Kept all the pieces, but I don’t know my shape Tell me what moves me when nobody calls What do I reach for when I’m not needed at all? I want to find the part of me I can’t lend A small true answer I can keep for myself again [Verse 2] Your launch, their late train, the notes for my own song I watered every garden till my window box was gone I know how you take your tea, how she hates the cold Can’t name the thing I wanted before I learned to hold [Pre-Chorus] So I leave one blank square on the page No appointment, no rescue, no borrowed name [Chorus] I’ve given my hours away like loose change Kept all the pieces, but I don’t know my shape Tell me what moves me when nobody calls What do I reach for when I’m not needed at all? I want to find the part of me I can’t lend A small true answer I can keep for myself again [Bridge] Maybe it’s the first cup left to cool The half-read book, the afternoon unruled Maybe the spark was never loud or grand Just one honest want I can hold in my hand [Final Chorus] I’ve given my hours away like loose change Now I’m gathering the pieces, learning my shape I’ll listen for what moves me when nobody calls I’ll make a little room that belongs to me after all I found a part of me I don’t have to lend A small true answer I can keep, and begin again [Outro] One blank square, one open day I’m still here; I can hear what I say
