[Verse 1] You bring your careful heart in both hands Like something they promised to protect I watch you explain away the damage Then gather what they left You still set a place for tenderness Though the table's been turned cold I want to give you what you came for But my two hands can't hold it all [Pre-Chorus] I could stay until the morning I could swear I'd never leave But a promise isn't shelter If it's more than I can be [Chorus] I want to give you the love you deserve Every soft and steady thing For every time they made you wonder If your heart was worth keeping I'd take the hurt from every doorway I'd make a home where you could start But there is only one of me And too many hearts [Verse 2] You tell me, "Maybe I'm the problem" While you mend another tear I see the good you keep on offering To people who disappear If I could split myself in pieces I'd leave one with each of you But love is not a thing I multiply Just because I want it to [Pre-Chorus] I can listen, I can hold you I can tell you what I see But I can't become a lifetime For everyone who needs me [Chorus] I want to give you the love you deserve Every soft and steady thing For every time they made you wonder If your heart was worth keeping I'd take the hurt from every doorway I'd make a home where you could start But there is only one of me And too many hearts [Bridge] So let me be here, not your answer Let me sit beside the ache You don't have to earn a kindness You don't have to stay for pain And when you find the arms that meet you May they mean the words they say I can't be everyone you needed But I won't look away [Final Chorus] I want to give you the love you deserve Every patient, honest thing May you never have to bargain For the care your heart can bring I'd take the hurt from every doorway I'd make a home where you could start There is only one of me But I can give you my heart [Outro] One of me Still here with you
