[Verse 1] I kept a spare key under every name Made room at my table, took the blame You called when the winter got into your bones I gave you my coat, then walked home alone I learned every silence, every borrowed ache Said, “Take what you need,” till there was none left to take [Pre-Chorus] Now you say I’m worth staying for I look at the empty place by the door [Chorus] I gave my whole heart away in pieces Till I couldn’t tell what belonged to me I held so many hands through their leaving Now love comes close and I can’t believe You could choose me with nothing to prove When I spent all my proof on everybody but you [Verse 2] I remember your birthday, your brother’s bad knee The song for the drive when you couldn’t sleep I kept all the little things you dropped on the floor Then wondered why I couldn’t ask for more My name in your mouth sounds gentle and strange Like a coat that still fits but I’m scared it has changed [Pre-Chorus] You say I don’t have to earn the room I still fold myself small when you move [Chorus] I gave my whole heart away in pieces Till I couldn’t tell what belonged to me I held so many hands through their leaving Now love comes close and I can’t believe You could choose me with nothing to prove When I spent all my proof on everybody but you [Breakdown] If I stop giving, will you still stay? If I have no rescue left, will you look my way? I’m not a well that never runs dry I’m just learning I’m allowed to be held this time [Final Chorus] I gave my whole heart away in pieces Still there’s a small part returning to me You hold my hands without asking for reasons You let me be tired, you let me just be Maybe I’m worthy before I can prove Maybe I can keep some of this love for me too [Outro] Leave the key here I’ll let you in And keep a little For where I’ve been
