Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Mama left a note
On the fridge by the corn
Dad kept his boots
By the back door worn
My little brother asked
If Sunday still comes
I said, "Go wash your hands"
And bit down my tongue
[Pre-Chorus]
Now the chairs sit crooked
At the end of the row
Every little "sorry"
Grew roots and won't let go
[Chorus]
We were a house of love
Now it's broken in two
We were a house of love
And I blame me and you
Hold on, heart
Don't go too far
We were a house of love
And I still love who we are
[Verse 2]
The photo on the mantle
Got a crack through the glass
Your ring in the dish
Still says this was the past
I heard your keys in my mind
Then the hall stayed bare
I keep setting three plates
Like somebody's still there
[Pre-Chorus]
Now the chairs sit crooked
At the end of the row
Every little "sorry"
Grew roots and won't let go
[Chorus]
We were a house of love
Now it's broken in two
We were a house of love
And I blame me and you
Hold on, heart
Don't go too far
We were a house of love
And I still love who we are
[Bridge]
If I could fold back time
Like your old church shirt
I'd mend every hard word
I'd keep us from this hurt
I'd call your name out
Till the porch lights glow
Bring our table back home
Where the hurt won't grow
[Chorus]
We were a house of love
Now it's broken in two
We were a house of love
And I blame me and you
Hold on, heart
Don't go too far
We were a house of love
And I still love who we are
