Wrong Road Home

[Verse 1] I kept the receipts in a drawer Like proof I was good at the core Held the door, said the right thing Smiled like a saint in a ring But the mirror caught me unmade Every little mercy delayed I was kind when it cost me less That’s not love, that’s self-protect [Pre-Chorus] And I hate what I see When it looks back at me All that armor I wore Was a lock on the door [Chorus] I took the wrong road home I took the wrong road home Now the ground feels thin And the truth moves in I took the wrong road home I took the wrong road home If I have to break it all Let me break it all [Verse 2] I built a house on a promise Then fed it lies in the margins Clapped for the life I was sold While my real one went cold I can hear it in the walls Every name I never called Every chance I let decay Every debt I meant to pay [Pre-Chorus] And I hate what I find In the back of my mind I was loyal to fear For too many years [Chorus] I took the wrong road home I took the wrong road home Now the ground feels thin And the truth moves in I took the wrong road home I took the wrong road home If I have to break it all Let me break it all [Bridge] If the door has to splinter If the frame has to fall If the life that I picked Was a lie after all Then pull me through ash Pull me through rain I’d rather lose the shape Than keep wearing the name [Chorus] I took the wrong road home I took the wrong road home Now the ground feels thin And the truth moves in I took the wrong road home I took the wrong road home If I have to break it all Let me break it all [Outro] Let it hurt where it should Let it show where it stood I was never that good I was never that good
