Last night in your doorway Your jacket on the chair A half-empty wine glass The silence in the air You said my name like mercy Then looked down at the floor We held a little thunder Before I turned the door Car keys in my pocket One foot in the hall You saw the crack coming Before the picture fell Were you the one Or just dressed by fate? The right pair of eyes At the wrong locked gate? We traded in forever For a room made of glass Were you the one— Or just built not to last? Box on the passenger seat I left my key on the shelf You always loved the version I couldn't be myself You called me your queen once With that tired, easy grin Like you could crown a heartbreak And lock the edges in Hand on the ignition Engine running clear Love can be honest And still not belong here Were you the one Or just dressed by fate? The right pair of eyes At the wrong locked gate? We traded in forever For a room made of glass Were you the one— Or just built not to last? I won’t curse the gravel Throwing dust in my lights Some goodbyes hurt early Just to save you later nights I loved you without armor Down to every scar Now I leave the rear-view mirror Right where you are Were you the one Or just dressed by fate? The right pair of eyes At the wrong locked gate? We traded in forever For a room made of glass Were you the one— Or just built not to last? Just built not to last… Keys on the shelf. Were you the one? Or did I dress you myself?
