[Verse 1] I kept the porch light on for years Held your hair back through your tears One good month, then you’d disappear Come back broke and blurred I saw the glass, I saw the lie Saw that far-off look in your eye I kept my vows while you kept mine Half-buried in the dirt [Pre-Chorus] I was the fool with a soft heart Trying to hold a storm in my arms You’d cross that line, then fall apart And I’d patch it up again [Chorus] Last time I stayed Last time I prayed Last time I paid For what you made I choose my peace I choose my seat At a table set With good luck and relief Last time I stayed (last time I stayed) [Verse 2] Once a year, the wheels came off You’d vanish into your own cross Leave me counting what I lost And wondering who you kissed I gave you grace, I gave you space I gave you ten more chances, babe But love gets tired of cleaning up A house that won't stay fixed [Pre-Chorus] I was the fool with a soft heart Trying to hold a storm in my arms You’d cross that line, then fall apart And I’d patch it up again [Chorus] Last time I stayed Last time I prayed Last time I paid For what you made I choose my peace I choose my seat At a table set With good luck and relief Last time I stayed (last time I stayed) [Bridge] Now I sleep through the whole night No phone on the bedside No dread hanging in the hall I got clear skies in my chest I got money in my rest Funny how the world stands tall When I stop taking your calls [Chorus] Last time I stayed Last time I prayed Last time I paid For what you made I choose my peace I choose my seat At a table set With good luck and relief Last time I stayed (last time I stayed)
