[Verse 1] I put on your problems Like a borrowed coat Too tight in the shoulders But I still pull it closed Dragging your yesterday Down my hallway floor That little case with the crooked wheel Always catching on the front door [Chorus] I’ve been wearing your life like a shrunken cardigan Hauling every heartache like a broken suitcase behind me Calling it mercy Calling it care But I gotta love you enough to leave your troubles in your own hands And love me enough to walk my own road Getting on the bus. [Verse 2] I replay each moment Like I’m on the stand Every “what if” whisper Pointing at my hands If I’d stayed five minutes If I’d made that call As if I’m the one small hinge That’s holding up your world at all [Chorus] I’ve been wearing your life like a shrunken cardigan Hauling every heartache like a broken suitcase behind me Calling it mercy Calling it care But I gotta love you enough to leave your troubles in your own hands And love me enough to walk my own road Free-hearted Love untainted [Bridge] This isn’t distance This is trust You get your journey I get my release I can stand beside you (ooh) not in your skin Hold you in my open arms And let the true story you’re in begin [Chorus] No more wearing your life like a shrunken cardigan I’ll fold it and return it with a gentle smile and steady hands Still calling it mercy Still calling it care ‘cause I’ll love you enough to let your heavy suitcase Be your own concern. And love me enough to walk my own road With only what my shoulders should bear. ( Free-hearted Love untainted)
