[Verse 1] You call when the lock won’t turn When the rain gets under your coat I know which drawer holds the spare key And how to steady your voice on the phone You say, “I don’t know what I’d do” Then your hand is already on the door [Pre-Chorus] I kept mistaking the weight of your trust For the warmth of being chosen [Chorus] You love the shelter I make for you The steady hands, the room to land But when the weather clears, you’re gone again I’m the safe place, not the one you want You need me close when the floor gives way Then leave me there when you can stand I’m tired of being called your home By someone who won’t stay [Verse 2] Your boxes wait beside the stairs You ask me to carry the heavy ones You tell me all the things you can’t tell them Then laugh like we’re the closest friends I memorize the little warning signs And you never learn the shape of mine [Pre-Chorus] I kept mistaking your reaching hands For hands that meant to hold me [Chorus] You love the shelter I make for you The steady hands, the room to land But when the weather clears, you’re gone again I’m the safe place, not the one you want You need me close when the floor gives way Then leave me there when you can stand I’m tired of being called your home By someone who won’t stay [Breakdown] Say it plain You trust me with the pieces You don’t love me for the person Who stays up gathering them Say it plain I was useful in the wreckage But you never asked what it cost To be the one you lean on [Final Chorus] You love the shelter I make for you But I want more than being your plan When every other door is closing I want you here when you can stand I won’t keep calling need devotion I won’t keep lending out my hands I’m not a room you pass through I’m a heart you never planned [Outro] Take the spare key Leave the truth I was there for you You were passing through
