Outside the Everhart Name

Verse 1There’s a picture on the wall of a life I’ll never knowSmiles in the frame from a long time agoThey all look like they belong in that lightAnd I’m just standing here trying to feel right

Every dinner feels quiet when I walk in the roomLike laughter fades a little too soonI keep telling myself it’s all in my headBut the silence says more than the words unsaid

Chorus‘Cause I’m standing outside the Everhart nameLike a cold porch light in the pouring rainTrying so hard just to feel like I’m homeBut every step forward feels like I’m alone

Every smile feels like it’s borrowed somehowLike they’re wondering why I’m here nowAnd I’d give anything just to feel the sameBut I’m still standing outside the Everhart name

Verse 2I watch them talk about memories and yearsWhile I hide the ache behind quiet tearsThey say family’s forever, blood runs deepBut I’m the promise they never meant to keep

Maybe I’m the piece that don’t fit in the frameThe wrong kind of heart with the wrong last nameAnd I keep holding on though it hurts the sameTrying to belong to the Everhart name

Chorus‘Cause I’m standing outside the Everhart nameLike a cold porch light in the pouring rainTrying so hard just to feel like I’m homeBut every step forward feels like I’m alone

Every smile feels like it’s borrowed somehowLike they’re wondering why I’m here nowAnd I’d give anything just to feel the sameBut I’m still standing outside the Everhart name

BridgeLate at night when the house goes stillI wonder if I ever willBe more than someone passing throughA stranger trying to love them too

Final ChorusYeah I’m standing outside the Everhart nameIn the quiet echo of invisible painStill holding a hope that might never comeJust wanting to feel like I’m someone

But until that day, I’ll carry the flameOf a heart that tried for the Everhart nameEven if I never feel the sameInside the Everhart name
