[Verse 1] I gave my Sunday coat to everyone in the cold Made a home of every doorway, made a promise I could hold Now your names are on my calendar, your mugs are by the sink And every time I turn to leave, I stop before I think [Pre-Chorus] You all learned where the warm room is I left the door unlatched Now every road I take from here Feels like a promise cracked [Chorus] I loved too many, loved you true Now every road runs back to you How do I choose a way to go And leave no heart out in the cold? I meant to share the warmth I had Now every goodbye sounds like bad news I loved too many, loved you true Tell me how to leave without losing you [Verse 2] Your blue scarf on the chair back, your note beneath the plate A half-read book beside the window, four plans I can’t translate You ask me for an answer, I can’t make one sound clean I thought that love was more to give; I missed what it would mean [Pre-Chorus] You all learned where the warm room is I left the door unlatched Now every road I take from here Feels like a promise cracked [Chorus] I loved too many, loved you true Now every road runs back to you How do I choose a way to go And leave no heart out in the cold? I meant to share the warmth I had Now every goodbye sounds like bad news I loved too many, loved you true Tell me how to leave without losing you [Bridge] I won’t call keeping you kindness If I’m only keeping you near You deserve a love that answers Not a hand that disappears So sit with me at the table Let the hard truth have its say I can’t make the hurt un-happen But I can stop adding days [Final Chorus] I loved too many, loved you true Now every road runs back to you How do I choose a way to go And leave no heart out in the cold? I meant to share the warmth I had Now every goodbye sounds like bad news I loved too many, loved you true I’ll tell the truth, though it breaks us through [Outro] Your blue scarf on the chair back Your note beneath the plate I’ll stay here for the answer I won’t make you wait
