[Verse 1] I kept the good parts folded in my coat Spent every promise just to stay afloat Then you came in with patient, open hands And I had dust where all the gardens ran [Pre-Chorus] You said, “I’m here, you don’t have to pretend” I wanted to begin again But every room inside me had been cleared Before the one who mattered ever appeared [Chorus] I spent my heart before you found me Gave it away till nothing stayed Now you’re the one I’d choose completely And I’m too worn to make it new again You deserve the whole of me, not pieces Not this quiet that I can’t undo I wish I’d saved a life for loving you [Verse 2] Your Sunday coat hangs by my kitchen door You leave your book beside the grocery list I watch you laugh and feel the distance grow Between the man you need and what I’ve got [Pre-Chorus] You never asked me to be healed or bright You only asked me in tonight I reach for you, then stop before I start There’s no fresh blood left to give my heart [Chorus] I spent my heart before you found me Gave it away till nothing stayed Now you’re the one I’d choose completely And I’m too worn to make it new again You deserve the whole of me, not pieces Not this quiet that I can’t undo I wish I’d saved a life for loving you [Bridge] If I could pull the years back from my hands I’d leave some breath, some tenderness intact But time won’t turn because I finally know You’re not too late—the part of me is gone [Final Chorus] I spent my heart before you found me Gave it away till nothing stayed Still, you’re the one I’d choose completely Though I’m too worn to make it new again You deserve the whole of me, not pieces And I hate that this is all I do I wish I’d saved a life for loving you I wish I’d saved a life for loving you [Outro] Your Sunday coat still by the door I wish I had a little more
