**Chorus**
'Cause this house still holds your name,
In every picture frame,
In every crack across these weathered walls.
The floorboards know your step,
The nights won't let forget,
The way you caught me every time I'd fall.
People say that time can heal the pain,
But all it's done is teach me how to carry it the same.
And this house still holds your name.

**Verse 2**
I learned to fix the truck and mow the yard,
I learned that being strong can still be hard,
I smile when folks around this town ask me,
"How've you been?" and "Are you finally free?"
But freedom wasn't ever what I sought,
I just wanted one more chance to talk,
One more Sunday morning by your side,
One more chance to say goodbye.

**Bridge**
Maybe heaven's just beyond those stars,
Maybe you're not really all that far,
Maybe every breeze that shakes these pines,
Is your hand reaching out for mine.
And when my days are finally through,
I'll walk that road that leads to you.

**Final Chorus**
And this house still holds your name,
But I ain't quite the same,
You've taught me how to live through missing you.
Every scar and every tear,
Brought me somehow here,
Standing stronger than I ever knew.
And when they ask me how I made it through the rain,
I'll tell them love is something that death can't take away.
Yeah, this house still holds your name...
And my heart always will the same.

**Outro**
There's a coffee cup still sitting by the sink,
And some days I still swear you're here with me.

**Verse 1** There's a coffee cup still sitting by the sink, A faded photograph beside the kitchen drinks, The screen door creaks the way it always did, Like it's waiting for you to walk back in. The roses by the fence have grown too high, And every summer storm still makes me cry, Funny how the years can roll on by, But some things never leave your side. **Chorus** 'Cause this house still holds your name, In every picture frame, In every crack across these weathered walls. The floorboards know your step, The nights won't let forget, The way you caught me every time I'd fall. People say that time can heal the pain, But all it's done is teach me how to carry it the same. And this house still holds your name. **Verse 2** I learned to fix the truck and mow the yard, I learned that being strong can still be hard, I smile when folks around this town ask me, "How've you been?" and "Are you finally free?"
