[Verse 1] You leave your list beside my plate I learn the shape of every need Then one small thing comes back too late And suddenly I’m careless, greedy [Pre-Chorus] I’ve been trimming every answer To the outline of your call When I reach for my own life You say I’ve changed it all [Chorus] I want a little life that’s mine A room inside my own design I gave you every spare tomorrow You count the one I couldn’t lend I want a little life that’s mine Not measured by your moving line I’m done apologizing softly For the self I’m growing into [Verse 2] I know the pause before you ask The tired look that means “come through” I set my plans beneath the task Then hear how I’ve let down you [Bridge] My wishes aren’t a debt to pay My needs don’t vanish when you stay [Final Chorus] I want a little life that’s mine A room inside my own design I gave you every spare tomorrow Now I’m keeping one to grow
