(Verse 1) There’s a house where I used to live, With light on every floor, Now I walk the rooftop’s edge, Don’t know what I’m reaching for. The wind’s a friend, the fall’s a fear, I’ve danced between the highs and lows, The cellar called, I disappeared, In its chill, where no one goes. (Pre-Chorus) But I’ve climbed the broken stairs again, Found a door to let the daylight in… (Chorus) Now I’m standing in the hallway, halfway home, Not just cold stone and echoes I call my own. I can open the door, let kindness inside, But I still hold the key to the rooms I hide. Oh, this house of mine—it’s cracked, but alive, And I’m learning how to survive. (Verse 2) The cellar’s still beneath my feet, Its whispers never die, But I’ve painted walls in gentle tones, Where laughter learns to lie. Some rooms are gone, locked tight with care, Ghosts behind the silent doors, But I carry that small silver key, A weight I’ll bear forevermore. (Pre-Chorus) And sometimes the roof still calls my name, But the ground feels warmer all the same. (Chorus) Now I’m standing in the hallway, halfway home, Not just cold stone and echoes I call my own. I can open the door, let kindness inside, But I still hold the key to the rooms I hide. Oh, this house of mine—it’s cracked, but alive, And I’m learning how to survive. (Bridge) There’s a man I dream could walk these halls, Share the silence, catch my falls. But to let him in, I must believe, That love won’t leave like the autumn leaves. So I wait by the window, heart unlocked, For the knock, for the knock… (Final Chorus) Now I’m standing in the hallway, halfway home, I’m not lost to the storm, not alone. I can open the door, let the daylight glide, Through the cracks where I used to hide. Oh, this house of mine—it breathes, it forgives, And for the first time… it lives. (Outro) Yeah, the cellar’s still there, and the rooftop’s wide, But tonight, I’m warm on the inside. And this house of my mind, It’s learning to shine.
