“House Full of Ghosts”
Verse 1
I built a home on shaky ground,
Hung her picture where the cracks were found.
Tried to paint over the past she dragged,
But every night, her shadows came back.
She spoke in names that weren’t my own,
Like a haunted wind through our quiet home.
I held her hand though the grip felt cold,
Love don’t mean much when it’s bought and sold.
Chorus
Now it’s me and the silence and a Bible by my bed,
Whiskey in my tears and prayers in my head.
She danced with wolves while I stood still,
Beggin’ her to stay on a broken will.
She took the cats and the light from the porch—
Left me alone with this house full of ghosts.
Verse 2
She lit wildfires I couldn’t contain,
Then cursed the smoke like I was to blame.
Her eyes would wander, her tongue would sting,
Talked ‘bout others like I didn’t mean a thing.
I patched the holes with hope and thread,
Loved her deep, but bled instead.
She wanted freedom, I gave her keys,
But she slammed the door and took my peace.
Chorus
Now it’s me and the silence and a Bible by my bed,
Whiskey in my tears and prayers in my head.
She danced with wolves while I stood still,
Beggin’ her to stay on a broken will.
She took the cats and the light from the porch—
Left me alone with this house full of ghosts.
Bridge
Now she laughs from the arms of some other man,
Like love was a joke I couldn’t understand.
But I’m done begging mercy from a heart gone cold,
I found my knees, now I’m letting go.
Final Chorus
It’s just me and redemption and a sunrise sky,
Washing off her memory, letting her lie.
No more wolves, no more fights,
Just the sound of my soul finding light.
She took the cats and the light from the porch—
But God lit a fire in this house full of ghosts.
Outro
Yeah, she left with the storm, but I stayed for the calm,
And I’m learning to love with the Lord in my arms.
