(Verse 1)
Late nights, quiet halls, shadows on the wall
You’re holdin’ everything together when I feel small
Cydnee, you’re the calm in the chaos I bring
The reason broken days still feel like something
Wren’s laugh echoing down the stairs
Lyvia dancing like she don’t got a care
Little footsteps turning this place into life
And I still see forever every time I look in your eyes
(Pre-Chorus)
We ain’t perfect, yeah we bend, yeah we break
But every crack lets a little more light in the way
(Chorus)
So let’s fill this house with love
Every tear, every touch, every moment that was tough
Let the walls hear every “I’m sorry” and “I care”
Let the silence know there’s something stronger there
Through the highs, through the weight of what we’ve done
Through the nights when we feel like we’re undone
We don’t need perfect, we just need enough
To fill this house… with love
(Verse 2)
There’s a heartbeat we ain’t even met yet
A future we’re still learning how to protect
Another soul counting on who we become
Another reason we can’t afford to run
Bills pile high, and the days feel long
Some nights we don’t know where we went wrong
But then you reach for me like you still believe
And somehow that’s all I need
(Pre-Chorus)
Yeah we’re tired, yeah we fight, yeah it’s real
But what we’re building here is something they’ll feel
(Chorus)
So let’s fill this house with love
Not just words, but the work when it gets tough
Let the kids see what forever really means
Not just dreams, but choosing it in between
Through the mess, through the doubt, through the flood
Through the days we ain’t sure we’re enough
We don’t need perfect, we just need us
To fill this house… with love
(Bridge)
One day they’ll grow, these halls will be quiet
Pictures on walls where our whole life is frozen in time
And I don’t wanna look back wishing we gave
More of our hearts instead of what we could save
So hold me close when the world gets loud
Remind me what we’re fighting for right now
Every moment’s a chance we can’t waste
Love’s not a word, it’s the life that we make
(Final Chorus)
Let’s fill this house with love
With every broken piece we rise above
Let forgiveness be the air we breathe
Let them grow up knowing what it means
Through every storm, through every scar
We’re already richer than we think we are
Yeah, we don’t need perfect, we’ve got enough
To fill this house…
(Outro)
Cydnee, you’re my always, my reason, my truth
Wren and Lyvia, everything good that I do
And this life we’re building, it’s more than enough
If we just keep filling this house with love
