[Verse 1] I built this house behind my eyes With every word I couldn’t unsay The hallway bends where old blame lies And dust keeps every yesterday [Pre-Chorus] I know the lock; I made the key I hear the floorboards answer me [Chorus] This haunted house is mine to face Regret in every room I pass I’ll open doors, I’ll name the shame And let the guilt fall through the cracks You don’t get to keep me here I’m still alive inside this place [Verse 2] The kitchen clock repeats that night The stairwell holds my younger voice I turn the handle, let in light A hard-won breath becomes a choice [Breakdown] I was the judge, I was the cage I’m not condemned to stay this way [Final Chorus] This haunted house is mine to face Regret in every room I pass I’ll open doors, I’ll name the shame And let the guilt fall through the cracks You don’t get to keep me here I’m still alive inside this place [Outro] One door unlatched One room made safe
