The Keys

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
Four walls with no ceiling
And even all the paint was peeling
But you saw a home to 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 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
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
Just know that you're safe in this place
No raging fire will ever burn us down
When I was just four walls with no ceiling
Even all the paint was peeling
You saw a home to put your heart in
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
