Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You call when the cupboard is empty
When the last clean shirt is gone
I make room beside my Tuesday
Then you leave before the dawn
I know the shape of your asking
The careful pause before my name
You hold my hands when you need something
Then let them fall away
[Pre-Chorus]
I kept the porch light burning
For a house you never saw
[Chorus]
I was the spare key in your pocket
The extra chair beside the wall
You reached for me when everything was breaking
But never reached at all
I gave you more than I could carry
You called it kindness, called it small
Now I’m learning I was not forgotten
You just never looked at all
[Verse 2]
Your coffee cup is in the sink still
A brown ring on the white
I washed the things you left behind me
And stayed awake all night
You said I had a steady heart, dear
Like steady meant it couldn’t bruise
You made a shelter from my silence
Then blamed me for the room
[Pre-Chorus]
I kept explaining mercy
When you were choosing what to take
[Chorus]
I was the spare key in your pocket
The extra chair beside the wall
You reached for me when everything was breaking
But never reached at all
I gave you more than I could carry
You called it kindness, called it small
Now I’m learning I was not forgotten
You just never looked at all
[Bridge]
There’s a difference between needing
And knowing who will stay
I can close the door without a war now
I can put my name away
[Final Chorus]
I’m not the spare key in your pocket
Not the chair beside the wall
You can reach for someone else tomorrow
I won’t be there at all
I gave you more than I could carry
Now I’m setting some of it down
I was never hard to notice
I was waiting for you to look around
[Outro]
I was waiting for you to look around
Now I’m walking home without you
