[Intro]
We came with our hands full
Still left with an empty room
[Verse 1]
The hunt for the right girl is hard, I know
We bring what we built, but she still says no
A clean shirt, a steady plan, keys in the door
But the answer gets colder than it was before
I watch her choose the muscle and the rented ride
The man with no money but a perfect stride
Or the loud one selling stories by the dozen
Every promise wears a grin, every truth stays hidden
[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe we measure love like a résumé
Maybe the heart never reads what we say
[Chorus]
We have everything, but it isn't the thing
You can't hand someone a life and make the door swing
She wants a fire, not a carefully folded plan
A loud little lie from a dangerous man
We have everything, still she walks away
Maybe wanting to be wanted is the price we pay
[Verse 2]
We say, “Look at the house, look at the work, look at me”
She hears a man counting what she ought to see
The bodybuilder flexes beneath a borrowed light
The big mouth turns a bad story into Friday night
We call them fools from the edge of the bar
Then wonder why nobody knows who we are
A wallet can't dance, a résumé can't kiss
And being right on paper never promised this
[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe we measure love like a résumé
Maybe the heart never reads what we say
[Chorus]
We have everything, but it isn't the thing
You can't hand someone a life and make the door swing
She wants a fire, not a carefully folded plan
A loud little lie from a dangerous man
We have everything, still she walks away
Maybe wanting to be wanted is the price we pay
[Bridge]
Put down the scorecard, take off the crown
Stop asking what she owes when she turns you down
If she wants the wrong man, let her learn his name
You can't rescue a stranger by calling her choice insane
[Final Chorus]
We have everything, but it isn't the thing
You can't hand someone a life and make the door swing
She wants a fire, not a carefully folded plan
And maybe she needs a woman, not a judging man
We have everything, still she walks away
So build a better heart, not a sharper phrase
[Outro]
The right one won't need a sales pitch
She'll see what we are when the room goes quiet
