Everybody's Home

[Verse 1]
I gave my Sunday to a stranger in Seoul
My Monday heart caught a train through Rome
By Friday I was saving a place in your plans
With three other names warm under my hands
I meant every kindness, I meant every call
But a promise can grow in the space of a pause
Now every good morning comes with a weight
And I count all the doors I forgot to close

[Pre-Chorus]
How do I choose without making a wound
Where do I stand when they all trust me now?

[Chorus]
I can't be everybody's home
I can't keep every candle lit
I wanted to give the world my warmth
Now I don't know where to put it
Tell me the honest road to take
Before another heart leans in
I can't be everybody's home
But I can tell the truth again

[Verse 2]
Your voice note waits while another one plays
A laugh from Manila, a late call from Prague
No one was a game, no one was a spare
I opened the window and let in the air
But warmth without borders can start to mislead
A hand held too long turns to something you need
I want to be kind, not a beautiful blur
To say what I mean while it still can be heard

[Pre-Chorus]
How do I choose without making a wound
Where do I stand when they all trust me now?

[Chorus]
I can't be everybody's home
I can't keep every candle lit
I wanted to give the world my warmth
Now I don't know where to put it
Tell me the honest road to take
Before another heart leans in
I can't be everybody's home
But I can tell the truth again

[Bridge]
If I have to disappoint you
Let it come from what is true
Not a slow retreat, not silence
Not another half-made room
I will name the love I cannot promise
I will stay while you let go
A clear goodbye can still be gentle
Even when it hurts us both

[Final Chorus]
I can't be everybody's home
I can't keep every candle lit
I wanted to give the world my warmth
Now I know I have to limit it
Take the honest road with me
Though it breaks what we believed
I can't be everybody's home
But I can leave with care and speak

[Outro]
One heart at a time
One truth at a time
