[Verse 1] You found me with your honest eyes When all my yeses had gone thin I know the way your silence listens I know the life you’re offering But every promise I once carried Was spent before your hands arrived I hate that you meet me at the ending Of a heart that’s still alive [Pre-Chorus] You deserve a love that doesn’t flinch A whole and willing answer, not a half I want to give you what you’re asking But wanting can’t restore the past [Chorus] You are the right one, wrong in time I feel the truth and still decline I’ve given out what should be yours And can’t make more by wanting more You deserve the whole of me Not this careful, closing sea [Verse 2] I learned to say “forever” quickly Then watched it lose its meaning slow I left my tenderness in pieces With people I was scared to let go Now you’re here, so clear and steady And I can’t dress my damage up as fate I’d rather tell you while you’re standing Than let you learn it years too late [Chorus] You are the right one, wrong in time I feel the truth and still decline I’ve given out what should be yours And can’t make more by wanting more You deserve the whole of me Not this careful, closing sea [Bridge] If I could meet you unspent, unafraid I’d meet your gaze and say your name But I won’t sell you a promise I can’t keep Or call this love enough to make you weep [Final Chorus] You are the right one, wrong in time I feel the truth and still decline You deserve a love that stays Not a heart still counting yesterday I’ll let you go with tenderness Though every part of me says yes [Outro] You were right for me I was too late
