[Verse 1] You left your coat beside the door The rain kept tapping at the floor I found your note beneath the keys Three crooked lines: “Take what you need” [Pre-Chorus] I used to count the words unsaid And carry every one to bed But morning came, the kettle sang I let the silence lose its name [Chorus] Leave a little room, leave a little room For the heart to change its mind Leave a little room, leave a little room We can take it one day at a time If the road bends out of view I’ll leave a little room for you [Verse 2] Your blue mug’s chipped along the rim I kept it though the paint wore thin Some things don’t mend the way we planned Some still feel warm inside your hand [Pre-Chorus] I won’t pretend the hurt is gone I just don’t let it drive me on The door is open, not a dare There’s space for truth and space to care [Chorus] Leave a little room, leave a little room For the heart to change its mind Leave a little room, leave a little room We can take it one day at a time If the road bends out of view I’ll leave a little room for you [Instrumental] [Bridge] If you come back, come as you are No grand apology, no borrowed part We’ll start with tea, the chipped blue cup And see what kindness can open up [Final Chorus] Leave a little room, leave a little room For the heart to change its mind Leave a little room, leave a little room We can take it one day at a time If the road bends out of view I’ll leave a little room for you Leave a little room for you [Outro] A little room A little room for you
