The house we built

Verse 1:

We painted dreams on broken walls,

Thought they’d stand the test of time.

We chased a crown of neon lights,

But lost the gold inside the rhyme.

Pre-Chorus:

The rain came down, the floor gave way,

And all our trophies turned to clay.

Chorus:

But love… love was the house we built.

It stood when the thunder cried and the nights stood still.

The hands we held, the hearts we filled —

That’s the house we built.

Verse 2:

We learned that home ain’t wood or stone,

It’s every heart that felt less alone.

And grace can build what pride tears down,

If mercy’s mortar holds the ground.

Bridge:

Now I see through every scar —

He was building where we are.

Final Chorus:

’Cause love… love was the house we built.

It’s still standing on that hill.

And when I fade, I know He will —

Keep the house we built.
