The Keys

I was more than a project

Just some pieces you've rubble

Some things you can't polish, it's better demolish

Just too much trouble

But you saw my state

Wrote your name on the pavement

Then you rolled up your sleeves

Decided I was worth keepin' somethin' worth savin'

Four walls with no ceilin'

And even though the paint was peelin'

You saw home and put your heart in

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

Only you could build a man like me

And that's why you hold the keys

You saw white picket fences

Heard the birds in the mornin'

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

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

Only you could build a man like me

And that's why you hold the keys, oh

That's why you hold the keys

Oh, you 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

When I was just four walls with no ceilin'

Even though the paint was peelin'

You saw home and put your heart in

Oh, 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

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
