[Verse 1]
I kept a room for you
Two cups on the shelf
Your name in the door frame
Like a bruise on my hand
I learned your silence
Like a song I hate
Still I opened up
Every damn day
[Pre-Chorus]
Say you want me close
Then you turn to stone
I keep holding out
At the edge of the blow
[Chorus]
I want your love
I want your love
Why does it break
Right in my hands? (my hands)
I want your love
I want your love
Why do you leave
When I reach back?
[Verse 2]
I saw your coat
On the back of my chair
Saw my own heart
Waiting there
You took the soft parts
Left the sharp ones out
Now I wear the hurt
Like a mouth
[Pre-Chorus]
Say you want me close
Then you turn to stone
I keep holding out
At the edge of the blow
[Chorus]
I want your love
I want your love
Why does it break
Right in my hands? (my hands)
I want your love
I want your love
Why do you leave
When I reach back?
[Bridge]
If I beg, if I bleed
Will you finally stay?
Or am I just the fire
You run from every day?
I built you a home
Out of ribs and rain
You walked right through it
Like you knew my name
[Breakdown]
Say it back
Say it back
Give me one true thing
Or let me drown
Say it back
Say it back
I don't need forever
Just right now
[Final Chorus]
I want your love
I want your love
Why does it break
Right in my hands? (my hands)
I want your love
I want your love
Why do you leave
When I reach back?
I want your love
I want your love
Say my name once
And don't look back (don't look back)
