[Verse 1] I keep a careful list of what I meant to do Then miss the small soft warning in the way you move I leave a little pressure where the welcome mat should be And call it being honest when you’re backing away from me [Pre-Chorus] I know the room gets quiet when I swear I’m listening I’m learning love is more than saying what I didn’t mean [Chorus] I don’t want to make a map of every place you can’t step I don’t want my fear to be the thing you have to get past If I’ve scattered all these warnings where your open hands should land Stay while I learn to love you without setting traps again [Verse 2] You tell me where it hurt; I start to build a case Then catch myself rehearsing why I’m not to blame So I put down the answer, let the silence have its say And ask what you need from me before I walk away [Breakdown] I’m still here I can hear you I won’t turn your reaching into something to defend [Final Chorus] I don’t want to make a map of every place you can’t step I don’t want my fear to be the thing you have to get past If I’ve scattered all these warnings where your open hands should land Stay while I learn to love you— I can try again [Outro]
