Prompt / Lyrics
[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
