[Intro] (Yeah) Mmm Listen [Verse 1] You keep your heart in your pocket Say it's safer in the dark You trace the scars with your fingers Laugh it off But I hear the ache in your laugh You say "I been down this road Pretty flowers Bitter thorns" I see the panic in your pupils Every time you feel a little warm I ain't here to rush your healing I ain't here to play pretend I'm just tryna show you slowly What it feels like to be chosen Not just used and left again They told you pretty little stories Then they vanished by the dawn All that pressure on your spirit Now you flinch when something real comes along [Chorus] They dropped a gem I picked it up Girl Your exes really messed this up They had gold sleeping in their hands Let it slip right through like sand They dropped a gem I see your shine I’m not them Let me draw the line Let me love you Let me prove I’m not the same All those fools walked past a flame [Verse 2] You keep receipts in your phone Screenshots of every lie Say they're there to keep you focused On the reasons you don't ever wanna try You say "Love sounds like a promise That expires overnight" I say "Love feels like a shelter Where your fears get to finally lose the fight" Let me learn your every trigger So I never pull that wire Let me sit with you in silence Till your breathing and your body both retire from the fire I’m not asking you for perfect I know trust’s a fragile thing I’ll be steady in your seasons Be the answer Not the echo of your pain [Chorus] They dropped a gem I picked it up Girl Your exes really messed this up They had gold sleeping in their hands Let it slip right through like sand They dropped a gem I see your shine I’m not them Let me draw the line Let me love you Let me prove I’m not the same All those fools walked past a flame [Verse 3] You say "Words are cheap I heard it" So I’m showing up on time I’m remembering what you told me 'Bout your mama 'bout your dreams and favorite wine I’m the call when you feel empty I’m the coat when you feel cold I’m the one who sees an angel Where the others just saw someone to control [Chorus] They dropped a gem I picked it up Girl Your exes really messed this up They had gold sleeping in their hands Let it slip right through like sand They dropped a gem I see your shine I’m not them Let me draw the line Let me love you Let me prove I’m not the same All those fools walked past a flame [Bridge] Take your time I’ll stand right here (right here) If you shake I’ll hold your fear (hold your fear) You don’t owe me pretty Just your truth I’ll be patient while you learn I’m something new [Chorus] They dropped a gem I picked it up Girl Your exes really messed this up They had gold sleeping in their hands Let it slip right through like sand They dropped a gem I see your shine I’m not them Let me draw the line Let me love you Let me prove I’m not the same All those fools walked past a flame (oh, they did) They dropped a gem I picked it up Girl Your exes really messed this up They had gold sleeping in their hands Let it slip right through like sand They dropped a gem I see your shine I’m not them Let me draw the line Let me love you Let me prove I’m not the same All those fools walked past a flame (oh, they did)
