[Verse 1 — Male, Solo] I learned to pack before they asked me to, To leave a little less for them to lose. I’ve tasted bitter coffee, swallowed pride, And called a dozen borrowed rooms mine. I used to think that love was something lent, A little kindness with a consequence. Now every time you tell me I can stay, I’m still scared you’ll change your mind someday. [Pre-Chorus 1 — Male, Solo] We’ve both been taught that nothing good comes free, So why’s it hard to trust what you see in me? [Chorus 1 — Male and Female Duet] If we were never meant to fit, Can we make a life from all of this? If every door we’ve known has closed, Can two lost hearts become a home? We’ve spent our lives outside the light, Still reaching for a place inside. If neither one of us knows how to stay, Could we belong to each other anyway? [Verse 2 — Female, Solo] I learned to make myself an easy guest, To give my all and never ask for rest. I know the taste of words I couldn’t say, Of biting back the hurt to make them stay. I thought that being needed meant being loved, That giving everything was still not enough. Now you come home and ask me how I’ve been, And sit with me patiently while I let you in. [Pre-Chorus 2 — Female, Solo] We’ve both mistaken being loved for being spared, What if we don’t have to earn the right to care? [Chorus 2 — Male and Female Duet,] If we were never meant to fit, Can we make a life from all of this? If every door we’ve known has closed, Can two lost hearts become a home? We’ve spent our lives outside the light, Still reaching for a place inside. If neither one of us knows how to stay, Could we belong to each other anyway? [Bridge — Alternating Male and Female Vocals] [Male Solo] You never have to prove your worth to me, Or give away the parts you need to keep. [Female Solo] You never have to leave to spare my heart, I knew your fears before we chose to start. [Male Solo] We’ve spent so long believing we’re alone. [Female Solo] We’ve made a thousand ordinary moments home. [Both Voices — Together in Harmony] We’ve spent our lives convinced we’d be alone, What if the love we give’s the home we’ve never known? [Final Chorus — Male Begins Alone, Female Joins, Both Finish in Harmony] [Male Solo] If we were never meant to fit, Can we make a life from all of this? [Female Solo] If every door we’ve known has closed, Can two lost hearts become a home? [Both Voices — Emotional Harmony] We’ve spent our lives outside the light, Now we leave the porch lamp burning bright. And though we’re still afraid of what might change, Could we belong to each other anyway?
