[Verse 1] I brought the candles, you brought the rain I wrote forever on the windowpane You wore my kindness like borrowed clothes Then left it hanging where the cold wind blows I kept the door cracked, kept the table set Counted every little thing I never got back yet I thought your name meant home to me Turns out it was just where you had to be [Pre-Chorus] I paid in time I paid in trust I gave you all my gold You gave me dust And every promise Looked solid then But now I see the cracks Were there back when [Chorus] I made our love a sanctuary You made it a waiting room I made our love a sanctuary You made it a waiting room I held the line for both of us You left me with the bill I was your soft place to land But you were never still (waiting room) [Verse 2] You took my quiet and called it peace Took my whole heart and called it ease I was the one who stayed after dark Tallying the scraps you made from a spark I learned your moods like weather maps Read every silence, traced every lapse You said "someday" like it was kind But "someday" was just a place to hide [Pre-Chorus] I kept the books You kept the door I held us up You wanted more Than what was here Than what was true I balanced everything Except you [Chorus] I made our love a sanctuary You made it a waiting room I made our love a sanctuary You made it a waiting room I held the line for both of us You left me with the bill I was your soft place to land But you were never still (waiting room) [Bridge] Now I can see the math in flame What you called love was never the same You came for shelter, then changed your mind Left me with echoes and unpaid time I was a harbor You were a storm I gave you shelter You moved along [Final Chorus] I made our love a sanctuary You made it a waiting room I made our love a sanctuary You made it a waiting room I held the line for both of us You left me with the bill I was your soft place to land But you were never still (waiting room) (I was never your home)
