[Verse 1] You held the door when I was running late You wrote my name beside a borrowed plate A little courage passed from hand to hand Now someone else is braver than they planned [Pre-Chorus] We don't get to choose what time will keep But kindness takes a root too deep [Chorus] Leave some paint on the walls Leave your mark in the rooms where somebody stands tall Every small act, every call Let it live in the lives that you helped along Leave some paint on the walls We were never made to be perfect at all If a heart feels less alone Then you left something good when you go [Verse 2] The crooked shelf you built still holds the books The old joke lands with just the way you look A song you made is humming down the hall The best things aren't the polished things at all [Pre-Chorus] We don't get to choose what time will keep But kindness takes a root too deep [Chorus] Leave some paint on the walls Leave your mark in the rooms where somebody stands tall Every small act, every call Let it live in the lives that you helped along Leave some paint on the walls We were never made to be perfect at all If a heart feels less alone Then you left something good when you go [Bridge] Let the edges show Let the colors run What we give away Keeps moving on One more hand reached out One more door held wide A thousand little traces Growing side by side [Final Chorus] Leave some paint on the walls Leave your mark in the rooms where somebody stands tall Every small act, every call Let it live in the lives that you helped along Leave some paint on the walls We were never made to be perfect at all If a heart feels less alone Then you left something good when you go [Outro] Leave some paint on the walls Leave some paint on the walls
