[Verse 1] I leave your lunch beside the sink The list is folded in my sleeve A dozen promises all tug At the one life I can barely see [Pre-Chorus] One of me keeps every light on One of me wants the door unlatched I hear them arguing in my head Both of them afraid to lose what lasts [Chorus] I want a life that feels like mine I want to keep you close and safe I’m not choosing who I love I’m trying to find room for every name When the good one and the greedy one collide I’ll hold the people I can’t leave behind [Verse 2] Your note is waiting by the keys The school shoes crowd the hallway floor I picture roads I haven’t taken Then come back when you call my name once more [Pre-Chorus] One of me says, “You owe them everything” One of me says, “You’re disappearing” They share the same tired face at night And both still want the ones worth keeping [Chorus] I want a life that feels like mine I want to keep you close and safe I’m not choosing who I love I’m trying to find room for every name When the good one and the greedy one collide I’ll hold the people I can’t leave behind [Bridge] If I ask for more, I’m not asking less of you If I need a change, it doesn’t make our years untrue Let the plan bend; let the hard truth breathe I can want a different road and still want you with me [Final Chorus] I want a life that feels like mine And I want you laughing at the table I’m not choosing who I love I’m learning what I can carry, what I’m able When the good one and the greedy one collide I’ll make a little room on either side I’ll hold the people I can’t leave behind [Outro] Not gone, not yours to own Still here, still finding home
