[Verse 1] You came over after midnight No excuse no grand mistake Just that look people carry When they've had all they can take You stood quiet in the doorway With your hands inside your coat Like if you moved too quickly Everything in you might break I said you can leave your shoes there Your said I won't stay long But you sat down in the kitchen And you didn't turn away I can hear the neighbors talking I can hear the pouring rain And the sound of both of us there Trying not to name the pain [Chorus] Sometimes there is no answer Sometimes there is no cure Sometimes the best you can give someone is a room and an open door Sometimes love is not a rescue It doesn't fix what came before It just says I am here beside you And asks for nothing more [Verse 2] You told me where the week had gone How you stopped returning calls How you drove around for hours Just to not go home at all You said I thought I'd gotten older Thought I'd learned to keep things shut And you laughed the way people do When they're close to giving up I said nothing for a moment Put the kettle on instead Because some nights you don't need wisdom You need tea and somewhere safe Then you looked at me so plainly Like you wanted me to know You were not asking for a promise You were asking not to go alone [Chorus] Sometimes there is no answer Sometimes there is no cure Sometimes the best you can give someone is a room and an open door Sometimes love is not a rescue It doesn't fix what came before It just says I am here beside you And asks for nothing more [Bridge] So we stayed there at the table While the window filled with dawn And the world outside kept moving Like nothing had gone wrong But something small had shifted Not the hurt and not the past Just the simple fact of being there Long enough for night to pass [Outro] Sometimes there is no answer Sometimes there is no cure Sometimes the best you can give someone is your hand and an open door Sometimes love is not a rescue It won't make the broken whole It just says you don't have to carry Every darkness on your own
