[Verse 1] You came in laughing at the wrong old joke, I knew the tune, but my throat stayed closed. I’ve spent my yes on a hundred passing names, And kept the dull receipts of all those flames. You look at me like I could still begin; I count the ways I’ve given everything thin. [Pre-Chorus] You deserve a heart that arrives whole, Not this late account with a missing soul. [Chorus] I found you when my hands were empty, But my heart was already spent. You deserve a love that meets you fully; I can’t fake what I haven’t kept. If timing had a kinder face, I’d give you more than this— I found you, I found you, When I had nothing left to give. [Verse 2] I learned each promise till it lost its sound, Let every almost wear the good parts down. Now you say my name, and it lands so clear, The kind of truth I should have saved for here. [Breakdown] You deserve more. I know you do. I’m not the answer I wanted to be. [Final Chorus] I found you when my hands were empty, But my heart was already spent. You deserve a love that meets you fully; I can’t fake what I haven’t kept. If timing had a kinder face, I’d give you more than this— I found you, I found you, And I’m sorry I came like this. [Outro] I’m sorry I came like this.
