Minefields We Built

[Verse 1] You left your keys beside the sink again I found them where the good plates almost fell You asked me what I needed; I said, “Fine” Then laid a row of little traps in time [Pre-Chorus] I keep a map of every bruise I made Still miss the signs you’re asking me to stay [Chorus] I’m learning how to love you without turning care to caution How to say the thing I mean before it turns to something sharp I keep making minefields in the rooms we built together Take my hand; I’ll walk the ground I’ve marked [Verse 2] Your coat still hangs behind the kitchen door I know the shape of leaving by the pause I’m not asking you to call me fixed Just let me try again, and name the tripwires [Pre-Chorus] If I go quiet, ask me what I fear I’ll try to answer while you’re standing here [Chorus] I’m learning how to love you without turning care to caution How to say the thing I mean before it turns to something sharp I keep making minefields in the rooms we built together Take my hand; I’ll walk the ground I’ve marked [Outro] One honest step, then one more, slow and clear
