Verse 1 You left your jacket on my chair like a claim Like you meant to come back, not just leave a name I don’t ask for promises, I ask where you place them ’Cause I’ve seen “forever” turn into a sentence with spaces I keep a spare key in a dish by the sink Not for emergencies—just to see what you think If you take it, it’s trust If you joke, it’s a dodge If you don’t touch it at all Then I know what this is Pre-Chorus I’m not accusing, I’m listening There’s a difference, don’t miss it I don’t need a ring right now I need your habits to match your lips Chorus Take the spare key Or don’t But don’t stand in my doorway acting like you can’t decide what you want If you’re only here when it’s easy Then baby, leave it on the hook ’Cause I’m not building something with you Just to watch you forget where you put it Verse 2 I’ve been the man with the plan, with the tools in the truck Still got a quiet fear I’m not enough when it’s love So I act like I’m fine, I act like I’m steel But I notice everything—what you say and what you don’t feel You call me late at night, then you vanish by noon Like I’m good for the dark but not good for the room And I’m tired of guessing Tired of “we’ll see” Either step into my life Or stop borrowing me Pre-Chorus I’m not accusing, I’m listening There’s a difference, don’t miss it I don’t need a ring right now I need your habits to match your lips Chorus Take the spare key Or don’t But don’t stand in my doorway acting like you can’t decide what you want If you’re only here when it’s easy Then baby, leave it on the hook ’Cause I’m not building something with you Just to watch you forget where you put it Bridge Say you’re scared—fine Say you’re not sure—fine Just don’t make a home out of half-truths And call it “timing” I can handle honest I can’t handle unclear I won’t chase a maybe ’Cause I live here Final Chorus So take the spare key Or don’t But don’t stand in my doorway acting like you can’t decide what you want If you’re only here when it’s easy Then baby, leave it on the hook ’Cause I’m not building something with you Just to watch you forget where you put it
