Verse 1 I boxed up every photograph, Left no reason looking back. Changed my route home after work, Still couldn’t outrun the hurt. Everybody says time moves on, Like a river after the storm. But every road I leave behind Finds its way back every time. Chorus You’re living rent free in my mind, No lease to sign, just borrowed time. Kick your boots up like the place is yours, Walking through slammed and bolted doors. I’ve served eviction a thousand times, Every notice comes back denied. I can leave this town, I can change my name… But you’re living rent free in my mind. Verse 2 I can laugh with somebody new, Find a hundred things to do. But one old song, one passing glance, And there you are without a chance. It’s a strange kind of loneliness— Missing someone you don’t even miss. Guess some memories never die… They just learn to hide. Bridge Maybe one day you’ll fade away, Like smoke rolling off yesterday. Till then every morning starts the same… You’re the first thing that finds my name. Final Chorus You’re living rent free in my mind, No lease to sign, just borrowed time. Kick your boots up like the place is yours, Walking through slammed and bolted doors. One of these days I’ll finally find A little peace I can call mine. Till then you’re right where you’ll always be… Living rent free in my mind. Outro You never asked to stay… You just never left. ——————— Written and produced by @vinnyleaf Vinnyleaf Music 2026
