[Verse 1]
Thirteen years, we built a house of cards
Five little faces watching in the yard
We swore we’d stay, through every thick and thin
But the promise broke, and let the winter in
You played your games, the charming, shifting mask
I was the one who took on every task
You whispered lies and twisted every truth
I poured away the best years of my youth
[Chorus]
Oh, you walked away like it was nothing new
Like cleaning house and finding something due
You were a storm that tore my peace apart
But I’m reclaiming all my hollowed heart
Yeah, you were toxic, a poison in the well
But I’m stepping out from under your long spell
[Verse 2]
The silence in the kitchen isn’t loud
I’m standing tall, I’m finding out my crowd
And then you came, like light across the floor
A different kind of knock upon my door
You pick the pieces up, you don’t complain
You help me wash away the ghost of rain
You listen close, you hold me when I’m weak
You give me back the voice I couldn’t speak
[Chorus]
Oh, you walked away like it was nothing new
Like cleaning house and finding something due
You were a storm that tore my peace apart
But I’m reclaiming all my hollowed heart
Yeah, you were toxic, a poison in the well
But I’m stepping out from under your long spell
[Bridge]
Five little ones are learning how to bloom
In the quiet space you left inside this room
My heart was shattered, jagged at the seams
But now I’m stitching up my own damn dreams
[Outro]
I’m moving on, the road is wide and clear
The past is just a story, not a fear
I’m moving on, I’m finally letting go
I’m moving on, and watching myself grow
I’m moving on.
