[Verse 1]
We built our life in cardboard boxes
Laughed at pictures on the floor
Coffee rings on fresh-cut counter
Thought
This is what forever’s for
You said you’d never felt this steady
You traced a future on my hand
I bought a couch
A set of dishes
I thought I finally was your man
[Chorus]
But this house was full of secrets
Every room
A missing piece
You were texting in the bathroom
Calling someone you called “please”
I was painting all our walls
You were crossing all our lines
Love moved in
But truth moved quicker
And it walked you out of mine
[Verse 2]
Late night glow on your reflection
Face gone blank when I walked in
You said “work stuff
Nothing
Promise”
But your voice was paper-thin
Then I saw his name locked on your screen
Same last name you used to wear
Every “girls’ night” down in Brighton
Every “late shift” led you there
[Chorus]
‘Cause this house was full of secrets
Every room
A missing piece
You were smiling in our photos
While you ran back to his street
I was hanging up your dress
You were slipping out of mine
Love moved in
But truth moved quicker
And it walked you out of mine
[Bridge]
Suitcase shaking on the driveway (hey)
Keys gone cold inside my fist
You said “Baby
We can fix this”
I just stared right through the mist
I said
“Tell him you’re not coming”
You said
“I already did”
Every promise turned to splinters
Every promise always hid
[Chorus]
Now this house echoes your secrets
Empty drawers
A crooked frame
You walked out past all our pictures
Didn’t even take your name
I was ready for a lifetime
You were living in rewind
Love moved in
But truth moved quicker
So I threw you from my life
[Outro]
One plate
One cup on the counter
One pillow on this bed
I’ve got silence in the closet
Where your wedding dress once slept
Yeah
This house is finally honest
Every lie swept to the curb
I lost you at the front door
But I found my self‑worth
