[Intro] I kept the door half closed You never pushed your way inside [Verse 1] You found the page beneath the jokes The part I never showed The list of things I couldn't fix The weight I couldn't hold You didn't turn it into advice Or make my hurt perform You left a little room for me To find my own way home [Pre-Chorus] When every answer felt too far You stayed beside the question You gave my voice a place to land Without demanding a confession [Chorus] You made a little room for me When I was hard to reach You saw the good I couldn't name And never made a speech If I can stand here now and say I think I'm getting through It's not because you saved my life It's because you let me choose [Verse 2] I carried old apologies Like coins inside my coat Spent them on the wrong people Just to keep the peace afloat You heard the parts I edited The pauses in between And treated every unfinished thought Like it was still worth being seen [Pre-Chorus] You never needed perfect words To prove that you were present You made the silence feel less sharp You made the past less certain [Chorus] You made a little room for me When I was hard to reach You saw the good I couldn't name And never made a speech If I can stand here now and say I think I'm getting through It's not because you saved my life It's because you let me choose [Bridge] Now I keep the names I used to hide Written plainly where I can see I can meet the mirror on a morning Without asking it to pardon me And if somebody finds me frightened With their hands around their doubt I'll give them what you gave me then A place to let it out [Final Chorus] You made a little room for me And I learned to take the space I found a pulse beneath the fear A future I could face If I can stand here now and say I think I'm getting through It's not because you saved my life It's because you let me choose [Outro] So here is what I couldn't say When saying it felt new I kept becoming more myself Because there was room with you
