A Wiser Heart

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I kept your number underneath a name I never touched, but never threw away Then your voice found me on a Tuesday train Asking if the door was still the same I said, "I’ve changed, but I remember us" You said, "Then meet me where the old café was" Two paper cups, your hand against mine A little older, better at the truth this time [Pre-Chorus] We don’t have to promise forever tonight Just stay when it gets difficult, stay when it’s quiet I know what we broke, I know what it cost But I also know what we almost lost [Chorus] Give me one more chance to love you right Not with perfect words, but an honest life We can take it slow, let the old hurt fade Build something stronger from the mess we made If your heart still leaves a little room for me I’ll meet you there with everything I couldn’t see No, we can’t go back, but maybe that’s the start A second chance, with a wiser heart [Verse 2] You keep your coat beside the bedroom chair I leave the porch light on because you’re there We talk through breakfast, no one has to win Learning how to let the daylight in I hear the fear behind the things you say You hear the silence I was hiding away When the past comes knocking after dark We hold the line and guard the tender part [Pre-Chorus] We don’t have to promise forever tonight Just stay when it gets difficult, stay when it’s quiet I know what we broke, I know what it cost But I also know what we almost lost [Chorus] Give me one more chance to love you right Not with perfect words, but an honest life We can take it slow, let the old hurt fade Build something stronger from the mess we made If your heart still leaves a little room for me I’ll meet you there with everything I couldn’t see No, we can’t go back, but maybe that’s the start A second chance, with a wiser heart [Bridge] If I reach for you, I won’t pretend I’m fearless If you lean on me, I’ll stay close and hear this Every scar is proof we made it through And every morning, I keep choosing you [Final Chorus] Give me one more chance to love you right Not with perfect words, but an honest life We can take it slow, let the old hurt fade Build something stronger from the mess we made If your heart still leaves a little room for me I’ll meet you there with everything I couldn’t see No, we can’t go back, but maybe that’s the start A second chance, with a wiser heart [Outro] A wiser heart A little more truth A second chance Me and you
