The room 4 u

Making Space for You

[Verse 1]
You said, “Slow down, let the room breathe”
I said, “I know, but you get too deep”
You read the parts I keep underneath
Then smiled like you already knew me

I keep old receipts in a desk drawer
Names I don't call anymore
But you sat barefoot on my kitchen floor
And made me wanna open the door

[Pre-Chorus]
I don't make promises easy
I don't just hand out the keys
But something about you beside me
Makes it easier just to be me

[Chorus]
Baby, I'm a dog, I'm a mutt
Still learning how to trust
Can you meet me in the middle?
Can you love me through the rough?

If you don't mind my guarded smile
Or the cracks I try to hide
I might stumble, I might run
I might need a little room

But if you keep your hand in mine
I'll keep making space for you

[Verse 2]
New sheets, boxes stacked against the wall
You brought takeout, we ate on the floor
Rain tapped softly on the windowpane
You asked me what I was scared of losing

I said, “The best thing I've ever found”
You turned the television down
No grand speeches, no promises loud
Just your head resting on my shoulder now

[Pre-Chorus]
I don't make promises easy
I don't just hand out the keys
But something about you beside me
Makes it easier just to be me

[Chorus]
Baby, I'm a dog, I'm a mutt
Still learning how to trust
Can you meet me in the middle?
Can you love me through the rough?

If you don't mind my guarded smile
Or the cracks I try to hide
I might stumble, I might run
I might need a little room

But if you keep your hand in mine
I'll keep making space for you

[Bridge]
If I go quiet, don't call it goodbye
Sometimes the truth takes a little time
Ask me again when the morning comes
I'll still be here, still learning love

I'm trying to let somebody in
Without rehearsing how it ends
I'm done pretending I'm bulletproof
I'm learning how to belong with you

[Final Chorus]
Baby, I'm a dog, I'm a mutt
Still learning how to trust
But I'll meet you in the middle
And I'll love you through the rough

If you can hold my guarded heart
And the pieces left behind
I'll keep showing up, keep trying
Keep choosing you each time

I might stumble, I might hide
I might need a little room
But if you keep your hand in mine
I'll keep making space for you

[Outro]
Keep your hand in mine
I'll keep making space for you
I'm still learning how to love
But I'm making space for you
