Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You leave your boots beside my door
Like you might stay a little more
Then pull your jacket from the chair
And disappear before I dare
I know the road you took to here
The kind that teaches hearts to fear
You wear your silence like a shield
But I can see what you conceal
[Pre-Chorus]
You say love is a lesson
You never plan to learn
I say some doors stay open
Even after bridges burn
[Chorus]
I’m falling for a man who won’t let anybody in
You hold me close, then call it just a friend
I could spend my whole life waiting on a change
But you keep your heart locked up and hand me all the blame
I’m falling for a man who’s scared to lose control
And I can’t teach you how to want somebody’s soul
So I’ll love you from the doorway till the leaving starts
You’re the one I’m choosing, but you’re not choosing my heart
[Verse 2]
You know the coffee that I take
You leave the porch light on till late
You fix the screen beside my bed
Then swear it means no more than that
Your hand finds mine beneath the table
Then you let go as soon as you’re able
You look at me like home feels good
Then run back to the life you understood
[Pre-Chorus]
You say love is a weakness
That makes a man depend
I say needing somebody
Ain’t the same as giving in
[Chorus]
I’m falling for a man who won’t let anybody in
You hold me close, then call it just a friend
I could spend my whole life waiting on a change
But you keep your heart locked up and hand me all the blame
I’m falling for a man who’s scared to lose control
And I can’t teach you how to want somebody’s soul
So I’ll love you from the doorway till the leaving starts
You’re the one I’m choosing, but you’re not choosing my heart
[Bridge]
Maybe someday you’ll stop counting every cost
Maybe you’ll find out guarded ain’t the same as lost
But I can’t be the proof you use to stay afraid
And I won’t call it patience when I’m slowly fading away
[Final Chorus]
I was falling for a man who wouldn’t let anybody in
You held me close, then called it just a friend
I spent too many seasons waiting on a change
While you kept your heart locked up and handed me the blame
I was falling for a man who was scared to lose control
But loving you kept taking pieces of my soul
So I’m leaving through the doorway where I begged you to start
You’re the one I wanted, but you never chose my heart
[Outro]
You never chose my heart
And I can’t keep choosing yours
