[Verse 1] You say the past is past But it hangs in the picture frames All these chairs in the same old place Still whispering the same old names You pour your truth like tea In cups that always crack Every time you reach for me I feel another hand behind my back [Chorus] I can't heal in the house that hurt me Same four walls keep the wounds in view You swear all the ghosts stopped haunting But they're sitting on the couch right next to you You call it peace I call it pretending You say it's gone But I see it clear as bruise I can't heal in the house that hurt me When the ones who broke me Still swear they never do [Verse 2] You change the curtains twice Say the colors make it new But the floor still creaks on every lie That I once believed from you You laugh like nothing's wrong At the table where I learned to flinch You say "we're stronger now" I watch your fingers curl The same old pinch [Chorus] I can't heal in the house that hurt me Same four walls keep the wounds in view You swear all the ghosts stopped haunting But they're sitting on the couch right next to you You call it peace I call it pretending You say it's gone But I see it clear as bruise I can't heal in the house that hurt me When the ones who broke me Still swear they never do [Bridge] How many times can trust be twisted Before it never takes its shape again You look me in the eye Insist it's different But every promise carries your old fingerprint [Chorus] I can't heal in the house that hurt me Same four walls keep the wounds in view You swear all the ghosts stopped haunting But they're sitting on the couch right next to you You call it love I call it surviving You say it's fixed But I bleed in the same old room I can't heal in the house that hurt me So I'm walking out the door With what’s left of me still true
