The House We Left Behind

[Verse] We drive past the old brick walls Windows cracked No voices call The garden's wild The swing’s long gone [Prechorus] The past is quiet It doesn’t shout No echoes left to pull us out [Chorus] We can pass that house But we don’t rewind It’s a frame Just a frame In the back of our mind No ghosts No time machine Just the choices in between [Verse 2] The creak of the stairs is a memory faint Not a shrine Not a place for saints It holds no power It holds no weight [Prechorus] The walls don’t whisper They don’t breathe It’s only us who choose to leave [Chorus] We can pass that house But we don’t rewind It’s a frame Just a frame In the back of our mind No ghosts No time machine Just the choices in between
