[Verse 1] I kept spare keys beneath the mat For every heart that lost its way I learned the shape of other storms And gave my roof away You found me counting empty rooms With every lamp turned low I said, “I’m fine, there’s plenty left” But you could hear the hollow [Pre-Chorus] I gave my name to every need Till mine felt strange to say Now when you reach to hold me close I look for the price to pay [Chorus] I spent my love like borrowed change On every hand that asked Now you’re here with something honest And I’m scared it won’t last If I gave too much to everyone Was there enough for me? You say I don’t have to earn your arms But I don’t know how to believe [Verse 2] I know the birthdays, train times, towns The little tells that mean “don’t go” I kept them filed behind my teeth So no one had to feel alone But when the house goes quiet now I can’t recall my own favorite song I made a home inside their lives And wondered why I didn’t belong [Pre-Chorus] I gave my name to every need Till mine felt strange to say Now when you reach to hold me close I look for the price to pay [Chorus] I spent my love like borrowed change On every hand that asked Now you’re here with something honest And I’m scared it won’t last If I gave too much to everyone Was there enough for me? You say I don’t have to earn your arms But I don’t know how to believe [Breakdown] I am not the sum of every promise I could not keep I am not the empty cup You found beside the sink Stay while I learn the weight of kindness When it’s meant for me Stay while I let one open door Be all I need [Final Chorus] I spent my love like borrowed change Till my hands were worn and bare Now you’re here with something honest And you’re still standing there Maybe giving isn’t losing Maybe I can let it be You say I don’t have to earn your arms So I’ll try to just receive [Outro] You don’t have to pull me from the wreckage You can sit with me awhile I’m learning how to keep a little For the one who wears my smile
