A Life With My Name On

[Verse 1]
You leave your list beside my plate
I learn the shape of every need
One small slip, you name it late
As if I gave you nothing freely

[Pre-Chorus]
I tuck my plans beneath your plans
Till I can’t tell whose hands are mine
You count the thing I missed again
Not all the hours I gave away

[Chorus]
I want a life with my name on it
A little room to choose my own road
I love you, but I can’t keep carrying
Every want like a debt I owe
I’m not a well that never runs dry
I’m not a promise made of stone
I want a life with my name on it
And I’m going to find my way home

[Verse 2]
You make a storm of one small error
No word for all I got right before
My own voice gets a little clearer
I won’t erase it anymore

[Bridge]
Let me be wrong, let me begin
Let me want things that are only mine

[Final Chorus]
I want a life with my name on it
A little room to choose my own road
I love you, but I can’t keep carrying
Every want like a debt I owe
I’m not a well that never runs dry
I’m not a promise made of stone
I want a life with my name on it
And I’m going to find my way home
