[Verse 1] I watched you take it. I even showed you which way it turns. Not a spare. The one that opens what I burned. After the fall I said I wouldn’t leap. Then I put the metal in your palm and called it sleep. That was the part I don’t get back even if you give the key back. Giving it felt like love. Watching you hold it felt like risk with a name. [Pre-Chorus] I didn’t throw it. I chose it. That’s the part that scares me sober. [Chorus] I handed you the key, not the spare, the real one. Door, lock, the room I don’t show anyone. If you keep it gentle, we go somewhere new. If you keep it careless, that’s on me too. I handed you the key. Don’t make me learn that twice. [Verse 2] You didn’t snatch it. You waited. I still shook. Old floor in my legs from the last time it took. I read your body language like it was fluid speech. You asked without asking. I answered with a reach. This ain’t blind faith. This is eyes open, hand out. Still don’t mean I won’t flinch if you turn south. Take it slow. Take it true. That lock only turns for a very few. [Rap] I gave you access, not a toy to spin. That’s my quiet, my night, my “come in.” Proud of the leap, scared of the sound of somebody walking rooms I just found. Hold it like it cost me, ‘cause it did. I don’t hand that over to whoever’s in the grid. You want in, you already in — that’s the key. Now show me you can live with what it means to keep me. [Chorus] I handed you the key, not the spare, the real one. Door, lock, the room I don’t show anyone. If you keep it gentle, we go somewhere new. If you keep it careless, that’s on me too. I handed you the key. Don’t make me learn that twice. [Outro] I handed you the key. That’s the part I don’t get back. Hold it like you care...
