[Verse 1] I learned every birthday, every favorite song Held their broken hours till the hurt moved on I kept spare forgiveness folded in my sleeve Gave away the parts of me I meant to keep [Pre-Chorus] Now the room goes quiet when somebody stays I count all the exits, I rehearse escape How can I be chosen, how can I be known When I spent my whole heart making theirs a home? [Chorus] I gave too much love away Till my hands forgot their shape Now you reach for me and I Feel like something counterfeit I poured myself through every door Left no river at the source If you call me worthy, I Won't know what you mean by it [Verse 2] I know who needs a ride, who needs a place to sleep Who hides the sharpest grief beneath a joke too deep I can make a stranger feel less alone by dawn Then come back to my own bed and find myself gone [Pre-Chorus] Every name is written somewhere underneath my skin Every promise I protected left a vacancy within You say I don't owe you, but I hear the old refrain Love is only useful if it asks me for a name [Chorus] I gave too much love away Till my hands forgot their shape Now you reach for me and I Feel like something counterfeit I poured myself through every door Left no river at the source If you call me worthy, I Won't know what you mean by it [Bridge] Maybe love is not a debt Maybe I can keep some breath For the morning, for the bed For the words I never said Let the phone ring through the wall I don't have to catch them all If I save one piece tonight It can teach the rest to fight [Instrumental] [Final Chorus] I gave too much love away But my hands can learn their shape When you reach for me, I might Let the door stay open a bit I poured myself through every door Now I know what roots are for If you call me worthy, I May believe you when you say it [Outro] I am more than what I gave More than every life I saved Keep a little love for me Keep a little love for me
