I’ve been leaving the TV talking Just to soften the edge of the room Letting voices I don’t care about Stand in for you I go further than I mean to Like I never know where to stop Every time I get close to something real I tighten it up till it drops If you find your way to me Let it be because you tried Not because I pulled on you Not because I tried to hide I’ve been rehearsing conversations They don’t land the same out loud By the time I get to the moment I’ve already worn it out I don’t know how to hold it steady Without changing what it is I either let it slip through my hands Or close them into a fist If you find your way to me Let it be because you tried Not because I pulled on you Not because I tried to hide I know you’re somewhere on the other side Of whatever lit our spark I’m not reaching now I’m just keeping the light If you find your way to me Let it be because you tried Not because I pulled on you Not because I tried to hide There’s a way you can hold something lightly Without making it disappear But I’ve never been good at the balance I either vanish or pull it too near There’s a version of me that stands steady Doesn’t bargain to be seen Doesn’t twist into someone you needed Doesn’t ask what you mean I’ve been learning the shape of that person Letting quiet fill in the frame If you meet me there, it’s not by accident We just wanted the same If you find your way to me Let it be because you tried Not because I pulled on you Not because I tried to hide Maybe love is just a door That only opens from both sides I’ll be here with my hand on the handle You decide, you decide If you find your way to me Let it be because you tried Not because I pulled on you Not because I tried to hide
