[Verse 1] I learned to read your face too late A careful word, a slammed-in gate I meant to make the room feel safe Then left another wire in place [Pre-Chorus] I say I’m trying, then I turn Your quiet into something to discern [Chorus] I’m still learning how to love you well How not to turn a home into a cell I plant the danger where we used to stand Then ask you to keep reaching for my hand [Verse 2] I count the little cracks I made The tender things I misplayed You shouldn’t have to map the floor Or guess what I might break once more [Bridge] Stay if you want, but I won’t call it owed I’ll clear one path and let the truth be known [Final Chorus] I’m still learning how to love you well How not to turn a home into a cell I’ll name the minefields, mark them where they lie And do the work before you have to try
