I was more than a project
Just some pieces you've rubble
Some things you can't polish, it's better demolish
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 keepin' somethin' worth savin'

Four walls with no ceilin'
And even though the paint was peelin'
You saw home and 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 mornin'
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 borders and made us a sign 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 (but it's my turn now)
Just know that you're safe in this place
No rage and fire will ever burn us down

When I was just four walls with no ceilin'
Even though the paint was peelin'
You saw home and put your heart in
Oh, 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
Only you can hold the keys
