[Verse 1]
They say I came on accident
Hand-me-down crib in a borrowed room
Mama staring through the TV light
Like I was just more bad news
Suitcase by the kitchen door
I learned “goodbye” ‘fore I learned to spell my name
Photos in a cardboard box
Everybody leaving, I stayed the same
[Chorus]
Am I that easy to run from
That hard to adore
Why’s every back I reach for
Walking through another door
If love’s a house, I’m on the porch
Bare feet on the cold, cracked floor
If I’m the problem you all ran from
Why’s my heart the one left sore
Left at the door
[Verse 2]
Foster bed with a floral sheet
Plastic dolls with the paint half gone
Calling strangers “mama” in my sleep
Waking up, they were already moved on
I learned to pack my little life
In a grocery sack, one trip, that’s all
Started asking every mirror I met
“Tell me why I ain’t worth one call?”
[Chorus]
Am I that easy to run from
That hard to adore
Why’s every back I reach for
Walking through another door
If love’s a house, I’m on the porch
Bare feet on the cold, cracked floor
If I’m the problem you all ran from
Why’s my heart the one left sore
Left at the door
[Bridge]
Is it my voice, is it my face (yeah)
Some quiet wrong I can’t erase
Or were you broken long before me
And I’m just where you laid the blame
I trace the cracks in every wall
Like maybe one leads back to y’all
But all I find in every corner
Is my own name
[Chorus]
Am I that easy to run from
That hard to adore
Why’s every back I reach for
Walking through another door
If love’s a house, I’m on the porch
Bare feet on the cold, cracked floor
If I’m the problem you all ran from
Why’s my heart the one left sore
Left at the door (left at the door)
Yeah I was
Left at the door
