You slam the door

Say you’re done

Keys on the counter

Shoes half on

Coffee’s cold between our cups

You say

“I’m tired of fixing us”

But every time you pack your doubts

Your hands still shake

Your eyes look down

You’re not made to walk away

You’re just scared to want to stay

So just take my love

If it’s heavy

Let it fall on you

Just take my love

Every broken

Every bruised truth

You don’t have to earn a thing

You don’t have to run

If you can’t say you need me

Then just take my love

I know the list you keep inside

All the ways you think you never quite align

You call yourself a sinking ship

But I’m right here

Water to your lips

You hide your heart behind a joke

Laugh it off

Then almost choke

On all the words you never say

So let my hands translate

Let it in slow

Let it in scared

You don’t have to call it forever

Just call it here

Hands on your shoulders

Breath in your lungs

You don’t owe me perfect

You just owe me one
