The story behind the song

Didn’t save my mind for you, didn’t save my body Though I whispered in your room you’re my one and only I’ve been broke so many times all the cracks run through me I was searching for you then, I just wandered from it

But I’ve got one gift to give, one last box to open here One last thing no one can take away And I have saved it all for you And I have saved it all for you

I will save my tears for you, locked up deep inside my room In a secret place you’ll find, even I can never lose I will save my tears for you, all I’ve got left inside me Broken walls and broken doors No one else can ever be

Showed up dirty at your door like a drunken beggar You took me in and washed my wounds, it only made them deeper Nameless faces in a crowd of the ones who weren’t you Took the gifts I had to give, left their imprint on me But I’ve got one last deepest place, it wasn’t all for nothing I’ve kept your broken dream and flower vase And I have saved one last for you And I have saved one last for you

You thought I gave it all away… But I’ve got one last left for you
