[Verse 1]
Told you ’bout the scars on my wrist
Names I never say on a list
You were tracing every line on my skin
Like you wanted to know where I’d been
You sat on the edge of my bed
Laughing at the worst things I said
Said I made you feel strangely at home
So I handed you the keys to my bones
[Chorus]
You’re the one I let in
Past the door I keep chained
Saw the dust in the corners
Didn’t look away
I cracked my chest open
You walked through
Looked around
Then you chose someone else
Left my heart in that house
[Verse 2]
You asked who I text late at night
Why I always leave on the light
I told you every fear
Every fight
Thought you wanted the mess
Not the highlight
Now I see you holding her hand
In the coffee shop where we planned
All the someday things we might do
Guess they fit better on you two
[Chorus]
You’re the one I let in
Past the door I keep chained
Saw the dust in the corners
Didn’t look away
I cracked my chest open
You walked through
Looked around
Then you chose someone else
Left my heart in that house
[Bridge]
Funny how you say that you’re grateful
For the way I helped you trust again
You rebuilt your faith in affection
Using pieces of my broken edges (oh)
I was practice
You were permanent for me
[Chorus]
You’re the one I let in
Past the door I keep chained
You learned every creak in the floorboards
Every half-hidden frame
I cracked my chest open
You walked through
Turned around
Now I live with the echo
Of the one I let out
