Make this House a Home (bedroom pop version)
[Intro – Soft / Intimate] It’s okay, I understand. No pressure, baby. Can I hold your hand? No pressure if not. I’ll be here when you’re ready. I walk away smiling, but my heart feels heavy. [Verse 1] Emotional numbing makes the chaos quiet, If I shut it down, I don’t have to fight it. People-pleasing says if you’re content, I’m safe — So I trade my truth just to keep my place. Hypervigilance keeps one eye on the door, I ration my anger so I don’t lose more. But I know none of this is real. And I can’t outrun what I feel. [Chorus] I'm not asking you to tell me how it's gonna be. I'm asking you to let me share the journey. It's a long, long road when you're walking alone. Let me walk beside you. We can make this house a home. [Verse 2] I’ve stayed where it burned. Trauma bonds dressed up as fate, but the fire surrounded me — escape came too late. Lately I wonder what future me would do if I stepped from the flame and trusted what’s true, and I want that to be you. [Pre-Chorus] So take your time — but hurry up. I’ll be patient, understanding, kind — enough. Until the day, if it comes, you change your mind. If you let me, I’ll show up in ways you never knew. You deserve what you never got. I didn’t either — when I lived in fear. [Chorus] I'm not asking you to tell me how it's gonna be. I'm asking you to let me share the journey. It's a long, long road when you're walking alone. Let me walk beside you. We can make this house a home. [Bridge] The unknown is scary — I know it’s unclear. But I can’t mask this part of me — it’s been years. I laid it all out on the line. Even when you hear me say, “Don’t worry, I’m fine.” I need you to know I’m better with you. And I think you know I’ve been your rock through the trauma, your anger, your sadness — and somehow we grew. [Breakdown] It’s okay if we don’t know where this goes. I just need you to know I love you. And I don’t know what letting go would look like — I don’t. [Final Chorus] I'm not asking you to tell me how it's gonna be. I'm asking you to let me share the journey. It's a long, long road when you're walking alone. Let me walk beside you. We can make this house a home. [Outro] So let’s ride this out together. I won’t tell you what you wanna hear. But I need to know this is real.
