[Verse 1] You found me where the old vows gather dust I’d spent my yes on names I barely knew I gave away the rooms inside my chest Then left one narrow door to open for you [Pre-Chorus] Now every promise has a borrowed key And every road I took runs back through me [Chorus] I found the one too late, too late to turn A house of borrowed words, a bridge I burned I’m boxed behind the life I made before Watching the love I meant for pass my door Too late, too late—I know what I let go You were the place my restless heart could go [Verse 2] I kept my calendar in other hands Kept saying “soon” until the seasons changed You stood there with your coat beneath your arm While I rehearsed the reasons I was chained [Pre-Chorus] All those little yeses fill the room I didn’t know they’d leave no space for you [Chorus] I found the one too late, too late to turn A house of borrowed words, a bridge I burned I’m boxed behind the life I made before Watching the love I meant for pass my door Too late, too late—I know what I let go You were the place my restless heart could go [Bridge] If I could lift one promise from the pile I’d give you back the years, not just a while But there you go, the morning at your heels And I’m still here, learning what this box feels [Final Chorus] I found the one too late, too late to turn A house of borrowed words, a bridge I burned I’m boxed behind the life I made before Watching the love I meant for pass my door Too late, too late—I know what I let go You were the place my restless heart could go [Outro] You were the place I couldn’t reach in time
