[Verse 1] I gave my name to every open door Left little pieces on a hundred floors I promised mornings I could never keep And taught my restless heart to lose its sleep [Pre-Chorus] Then you arrived, the answer in your hands While I was tangled in the vows I made [Chorus] I found the one too late, too late to turn A paper room where every promise burns I see the life we might have had go by And wear my borrowed face; I can’t say why Am I confused, or past redemption now? I’m boxed inside the choices I made somehow [Verse 2] You held the key; I couldn’t name the lock I watched the seasons gather on the clock You took the road that should have been our own I stayed behind, surrounded but alone [Bridge] If I could give back every careless yes Would there be room for one true tenderness? [Final Chorus] I found the one too late, too late to turn A paper room where every promise burns I see the life we might have had go by Still wearing all the words I can’t untie Am I confused, or past redemption now? I’m boxed inside the choices I made somehow [Outro] The life meant for us passes by
