Lyric

I said, keep it light

I can hold my own

Need a little space

I can walk alone

I made it look easy

I made it look clean

Smiled through the want

Like it never reached me

But small things stack up

Like dishes in the sink

I leave them for later

Till later starts to think

And I don't ask much

So you give me less

I trained my heart

To survive on almost-nothing

Low-maintenance heart

That was my line

Low-maintenance heart

Now it don't feel fine

You can take your time

And I won't complain

Low-maintenance heart

Gets lost in the rain

I kept my needs tucked

Like loose change in a coat

A little text back

Was enough to float

I learned to nod yes

When I meant maybe

Now the quiet grows teeth

And it eats at me daily

I made a small room

Where the ache could fit

Now it's got corners

And I live in it

I asked for so little

I became too hard to read

And what you don't see

You start to leave

Low-maintenance heart

That was my line

Low-maintenance heart

Now it don't feel fine

You can take your time

And I won't complain

Low-maintenance heart

Gets lost in the rain

I thought I was easy

I thought I was good

I thought love could keep me

When it never should

But if I go quiet

Don't call it strong

A heart left unattended

Can go cold too long

Low-maintenance heart

That was my line

Low-maintenance heart

Now it don't feel fine

You can take your time

And I won't complain

Low-maintenance heart

Won't stay safe that way

Low-maintenance heart

Low-maintenance heart

I wanted less

Now I need more
