[Intro] (heartbroken, slow & raw — clean guitar or piano, pained vocals building intensity)
I came home… after all that time…
Thought you’d be waitin’ with open arms…
Instead I found nothin’ but cold silence…
The home I built for us… torn apart…
You took my heart… and threw it away…
How could the woman I loved… betray me this way…
[Verse 1]
I was gone for too long
Home was once where I belonged
Then it all went wrong
The day you did me wrong
[Pre-Chorus]
Walked through that door, felt the cold inside
Every promise shattered, every truth denied
[Chorus]
I walked in through the front door
To the home that I had built for us
You took everything I sacrificed for
Said you loved me, but you don’t know what love is anymore
[Verse 2]
I’ve seen blood in the desert sand
Baking in the desert sun
Faces turn pale with one trigger pull
From the barrel of my gun
Black clouds roll in and block the light
White flags waving when the battle’s done
Lost too many friends I’ll never know
I don’t need another war to win your love
[Chorus]
I walked in through the front door
To the home that I had built for us
You took everything I sacrificed for
Said you loved me, but you don’t know what love is anymore
[Bridge]
The Devil can’t take me—I’ve already been to Hell
They tried to bury me, but I got back up and I prevailed
Now I’m here to tell my story, ring the final bell
[Final Chorus] (bigger, layered vocals)
I walked in through the front door
To the home that I had built for us
You took everything… everything I sacrificed for…
Said you loved me
But you don’t know what love is anymore!
[Outro] (heavy breakdown — slow crushing guitars, then building to full band explosion)
You took everything I sacrificed for…
Everything… everything…
Said you loved me… but you never knew…
Never knew what love is…
No… you never knew what love was…
(Spoken...From the desert sand… back to these broken doors…)
I survived the war…
But this… this is the one that broke me…
Never again!
