Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I was more than a project

Just some pieces of rubble

Some things you can't polish

It's better demolished

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 keeping

Something worth saving

[PreChorus]

Four walls with no ceiling

And even all the paint was peeling

But you saw a home to 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

Only you could build a man like me

And that's why you hold the keys

[Verse 2]

You saw white picket fences

Heard the birds in the morning

Saw what I could become

I could only see mud

But you saw a garden

[PreChorus]

Even though it was hopeless, broken

I was the road that you chose

You took all the dirt and the boulders

And made us a sight 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

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

You held on, you built me up strong

But it's my turn now

Just know that you're safe in this place

No raging fire will ever burn us down

[PreChorus]

When I was just four walls with no ceiling

Even all the paint was peeling

You saw a home to 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

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
