V6

[Intro] You came in carrying a whole world I only saw the part I knew [Verse 1] You keep your coat on in July I used to call that strange Then you told me what the cold can do And how a body keeps its names You count the exits when we talk I thought you weren’t listening Now I leave a little room beside me For the things you’re holding in [Pre-Chorus] I don’t have to see it your way To believe you when you say It’s real to you [Chorus] So tell me where it hurts I’ll try to understand I won’t turn your hardest day Into a verdict on who you are We can disagree and still make room We can ask before we accuse I’m learning how to hear you through I’m here, I’m here with you [Verse 2] You changed your mind at the kitchen sink With the tap still running cold I nearly made a joke of it Then I let the silence hold You’ve got reasons I can’t carry You’ve got truths I haven’t known So I’ll quit keeping score of every turn And let your story stand its own [Pre-Chorus] I don’t have to share your map To stop and hear the ground you’re on Before I answer back [Chorus] So tell me where it hurts I’ll try to understand I won’t turn your hardest day Into a verdict on who you are We can disagree and still make room We can ask before we accuse I’m learning how to hear you through I’m here, I’m here with you [Bridge] No one gets wiser from a finger in their face No one finds a safer door by being put to shame I can hold my own conviction And still leave yours some space We’re more than one bad sentence More than one mistake [Final Chorus] So tell me where it hurts I’ll try to understand I won’t turn your hardest day Into a verdict on who you are We can disagree and still make room We can ask before we accuse I’m learning how to hear you through I’m here, I’m here with you [Outro] I don’t need to win this moment I just want to know you true Tell me where it hurts I’m here with you
