The Keys

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I was more than a project Just some pieces you've rubbled Some things you can't polish It's better demolish Just too mouch trouble But you saw my state Wrote your name on the pavement Then you rolled up your sleeves Decided I was worth keepin' Something worth savin' [Pre-Chorus] Four walls with no ceiling And even though the paint was peelin' But you saw home and put your heart in [Chorus] It took a woman like you to see a wreckage And know what to salvage You never let me go, never let me go It took a woman like you to imagine Beauty in the damage So I'll never let you go, never let you go [Post-Chorus] Only you could build a man like me And that's why you hold the keys [Verse 2] You saw white picket fences Or the birds in the morning Saw what I could become I could only see mud But you saw a garden Even though it was hopeless, broken I was the road that you chose You took all the dirt and the borders And made us a sign to behold [Chorus] It took a woman like you to see a wreckage And know what to salvage You never let me go, never let me go It took a woman like you to imagine Beauty in the damage So I'll never let you go, never let you go [Post-Chorus] Only you could build a man like me And that's why you hold the keys Oh, that's why you hold the keys [Bridge] Oh, it held on, you built me up strong But it's my turn now (But it's my turn now) Just know that you're safe in this place No rage and fire will ever burn us down [Pre-Chorus] When I was just four walls with no ceiling And even though the paint was peelin' You saw home and put your heart in [Chorus] Oh, it took a woman like you to see a wreckage And know what to salvage Yeah, you never let me go, never let me go It took a woman like you to imagine Beauty in the damage So I'll never let you go, never let you go [Post-Chorus] Only you could build a man like me And that's why you hold the keys Oh, that's why you hold the keys Only you can hold the keys
