I Can't Be Yours

[Verse 1]
You keep my coat beside the door
You save the last slice, like before
I say I’m fine, I say I’ll stay
Then watch my own good sense give way

[Pre-Chorus]
You need the room to feel like home
I need the road that leaves alone
We hold the same rope, hand to hand
And pull apart the life we planned

[Chorus]
I want what breaks me, you want me safe
Two true hearts with no shared way
If I turn back, I disappear
If I go on, I lose you here
So let me want it, let me fall
I can’t be yours by being small

[Verse 2]
Your Sunday list is on the fridge
My name beside the grocery trip
You say, “Don’t trade the sure thing in”
I hear the door, I hear my skin

[Pre-Chorus]
You need the room to feel like home
I need the road that leaves alone
We hold the same rope, hand to hand
And pull apart the life we planned

[Chorus]
I want what breaks me, you want me safe
Two true hearts with no shared way
If I turn back, I disappear
If I go on, I lose you here
So let me want it, let me fall
I can’t be yours by being small

[Bridge]
Maybe the thing that makes me whole
Is the same sharp edge that takes its toll
You know the cost; I know it too
Still I can’t make this choice for you

[Final Chorus]
I want what breaks me, you want me safe
Two true hearts with no shared way
If I turn back, I disappear
If I go on, I lose you here
So let me want it, let me fall
I can’t be yours by being small

[Outro]
Your coat beside the door
My hand upon the latch
I love you. I still want more.
