[Verse 1] You built this hallway out of things I couldn't say Frames on the walls hold every borrowed blame I know the floorboards by the weight of every lie Still I keep walking like the door is somewhere mine [Pre-Chorus] I hear the old names rattling in the heat I turn the key; they turn it back on me [Chorus] This house is in my head, but I can leave a room I can face the dust and let the windows open soon Regret can keep its picture; shame can keep its throne I am not the house, I am the one who walks back home [Verse 2] The kitchen clock is stuck on what I should have done A cracked blue cup still holds the shape of everyone I take the stairs slow, let the silence lose its claim One honest breath, and I can say my own name [Breakdown] I was wrong I am here I can carry what I did Without living there [Final Chorus] This house is in my head, but I can leave a room I can face the dust and let the windows open soon Regret can keep its picture; shame can keep its throne I am not the house, I am the one who walks back home [Outro] One room at a time I walk back home
