[Intro] I keep a chair beside the door For every heart that asks for more [Verse 1] You told me what he said at dawn I stayed until the shaking passed She called because the rent was due I sent the money, skipped my plans A stranger cried beside the shop I learned the name of every scar I thought that care meant opening Every lock inside my heart [Pre-Chorus] I can see the hurt in you I know the good you’re reaching for But every hand I pull ashore Can leave me drowning on the floor [Chorus] I can wish you well and still keep my door I can care without becoming yours Every wounded soul deserves a place to heal But I am not the cure for all they feel If I give my whole heart to every need There’ll be nothing left for me [Verse 2] You said, “You’re all I have,” at two I wore that sentence like a chain I answered every late-night call Then missed my own life all the same Some people take the warmth you give And ask you never to grow cold Love doesn’t mean you have to break To prove your heart is made of gold [Pre-Chorus] I can see the hurt in you And still decide what I can bear A boundary isn’t cruelty It’s room enough to breathe in there [Chorus] I can wish you well and still keep my door I can care without becoming yours Every wounded soul deserves a place to heal But I am not the cure for all they feel If I give my whole heart to every need There’ll be nothing left for me [Bridge] I hope you find a softer landing I hope somebody stays awhile I hope the morning meets you gently I mean it when I say it, smile But I can’t promise you forever Because your sorrow called my name I can love the good that’s in you Without stepping into the flame [Group Chants] Care, not surrender! Kind, not undone! [Final Chorus] I can wish you well and still keep my door I can care without becoming yours Every wounded soul deserves a place to heal But I am not the cure for all they feel I’ll give what I can, not all I am I can hold your hand and still stand If I give my whole heart to every need There’ll be something left for me [Outro] I hope you find your way I’ll keep a little love for me
