[Verse 1] You came in honest, eyes steady and kind I knew the answer before I could lie You said, “We could make something that lasts” I looked at my hands and remembered the past [Pre-Chorus] I spent every promise on temporary heat Left all my tenderness in other people’s reach [Chorus] You found me at the end of my giving With a heart that has already been spent You deserve the whole of my wanting Not the handful I have left to present If I’d met you before all the leaving I might have been someone you could keep You found the right one too late, my love And I’m sorry the well ran deep [Verse 2] I can name every face that I tried to forget Every “forever” I said without meaning it yet Now your patience is plain, your affection is clear And I’m scared you’ll be paying for years that aren’t here [Bridge] I won’t dress up the damage as fate Or ask you to wait while I learn how to stay [Final Chorus] You found me at the end of my giving With a heart that has already been spent You deserve the whole of my wanting Not the handful I have left to present If I’d met you before all the leaving I might have been someone you could keep You found the right one too late, my love And I’m sorry the well ran deep [Outro] I’m sorry the well ran deep
