[Verse 1] You come in carrying the whole day wrong Coat still damp from the bus-stop rain I set the kettle on, you say nothing I stay beside you till words come back [Pre-Chorus] No grand cure, no perfect phrase Just a chair pulled close, a little space When the room feels hard to enter I’ll be the one who holds the door [Chorus] I want you to know you are wanted here When your own heart makes it hard to believe I’ll say your name like it matters, because it does I’ll keep a place for you, whatever you need If love is a thing we can hand to each other Then take both my hands—let me give you enough I live for the moment your breathing lets go And you feel, at last, that you’re loved [Verse 2] I learn how you take your tea too sweet Which old story still makes you laugh I remember the date you dread each year And call before the evening gets long [Pre-Chorus] No bright answer, no easy fix Just honest time and a stubborn kiss When the room feels hard to enter I’ll be the one who holds the door [Chorus] I want you to know you are wanted here When your own heart makes it hard to believe I’ll say your name like it matters, because it does I’ll keep a place for you, whatever you need If love is a thing we can hand to each other Then take both my hands—let me give you enough I live for the moment your breathing lets go And you feel, at last, that you’re loved [Bridge] And if the whole world turns its back on you If every road runs out beneath your feet I will come through the weather, I will stay I will keep the promise when it’s hard to keep You don’t have to earn a softer morning You don’t have to make your hurt look small You are not a burden, not a lesson You are someone I would choose through it all [Final Chorus] I want you to know you are wanted here Let the doubt break apart, let the truth come through I’ll say your name like it matters, because it does I’ll keep a place in this world for you If love is a thing we can hand to each other Take both my hands—there is more than enough I live for the moment your breathing lets go And you feel, at last, that you’re loved You are loved You are loved [Outro] I’ll stay till the kettle goes quiet I’ll stay till you know you’re not alone
