Saved For Later

[Verse 1] I made it with my hands Folded up the ends Ink still on my fingers Pride tucked in my chest I held it up for you Like, look what I can do You glanced past my shoulders Straight to the guest with you [Pre-Chorus] And I stood there, small With my little spark Wanting just one look Wanting just one mark You said, "Later, baby" Then you turned away My name went quiet In the middle of the day [Chorus] Saved for later Set aside Saved for later Out of sight I was there You were there But you chose the guest Over what I made Saved for later That hurt me bad Saved for later I should've mattered You missed the thing I was proudest of And I still felt you [Verse 2] I laughed with the room Played the part you like But I kept that paper Burning in my mind You asked another question Never saw my face I was holding hope there Like a plate I didn't need a trophy Didn't need a speech Just a simple "show me" From the seat across from me [Pre-Chorus] And I stood there, small With my little spark Wanting just one look Wanting just one mark You said, "Later, baby" Then you turned away My name went quiet In the middle of the day [Chorus] Saved for later Set aside Saved for later Out of sight I was there You were there But you chose the guest Over what I made Saved for later That hurt me bad Saved for later I should've mattered You missed the thing I was proudest of And I still felt you [Bridge] Maybe you didn't mean it Maybe that is true But a bruise is still a bruise Even when it's new I don't need perfection I just need a glance A little room at the table A little chance [Final Chorus] Saved for later Set aside Saved for later Out of sight I was there You were there But you chose the guest Over what I made Saved for later That hurt me bad Saved for later I should've mattered You missed the thing I was proudest of And I still felt you Saved for later I won't shrink Saved for later I still sing What I made Still has weight Even if you Looked away
