[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 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 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
[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
Heard 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 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
[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, 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 raging 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 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
[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
