[Verse 1] You keep your Sunday shirt on through the storm You say, “It’s fine,” while your hands still shake Another promise folded in your coat Another door you thought would stay awake I’ve seen you give the best of you away To someone who could barely hold it right If I could take the hurt from every face I’d sit beside you till the morning light [Pre-Chorus] I want to be the place you can come home The steady arms that never make you prove But every time I try to split my heart I learn how small one life can move [Chorus] I would give you the love you deserve Every patient word, every safe return I would gather the pieces they left on the floor But there’s only one of me, and so many more I can’t be every shelter, every open door There’s only one of me, and so many more [Verse 2] You ask if staying kind is foolish now I tell you no, though I have no cure I watch you risk your heart another time And hate how hope can leave you less secure If love were something I could hand around I’d leave enough for everyone to keep But I can’t mend the whole world with these hands Or promise I’ll be there in every grief [Pre-Chorus] I want to be the place you can come home The steady arms that never make you prove But every time I try to split my heart I learn how small one life can move [Chorus] I would give you the love you deserve Every patient word, every safe return I would gather the pieces they left on the floor But there’s only one of me, and so many more I can’t be every shelter, every open door There’s only one of me, and so many more [Bridge] So let me stay for this one honest night No grand rescue, no vow I can’t keep Just your name spoken gently in the room Just a hand to hold while you breathe [Final Chorus] I would give you the love you deserve Every patient word, every safe return I would gather the pieces they left on the floor Though there’s only one of me, I can still give more I can’t be every shelter, every open door But I’ll love you right here, as I am, as I’m yours [Outro] As I am, as I’m yours One heart, here tonight
