Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Plastic plate dinners

TV on mute

Dad’s voice thunder

Mama’s eyes bruise

Cartoons playing

I ain’t laugh once

Smelling burnt toast and distrust

In that one-bedroom front

Hand-me-down mattress

Springs in my back

Listening for footsteps

Heart jumpin out my chest

Every slammed door

Felt like it’s my fault

Learned how to flinch

Before I could walk

[Chorus]

I got porch lights in my head

They stay on all night

Shadows of the past

Still creeping in my sight (yeah)

I been tryna run

But the hurt still find my bed

I don’t want these memories

But they live here in my head (oh-oh)

[Verse 2]

School bus rolling

Mud on my shoes

Lying to my friends

Say “I overslept, what’s new”

Couldn’t tell ’em ’bout the shouting

Or the plates on the floor

So I swallowed every secret

Till it soaked into my core

Now I’m grown, still jump

When someone raises they tone

Got a house, got some trophies

But it ain’t feel like home

Therapist asking

“Tell me, where does it hurt?”

It’s in that Sunday church parking lot

Stains on my shirt

[Chorus]

I got porch lights in my head

They stay on all night

Shadows of the past

Still creeping in my sight (still creeping)

I been tryna run

But the hurt still find my bed

I don’t want these memories

But they live here in my head

[Bridge]

Every scar got a story

I ain’t wanna read

But I’m turning every page now

Letting old ghosts leave (yeah)

If I cry, let me cry

If I break, let me mend

I was a kid in the crossfire

I ain’t guilty of that sin

[Chorus]

I got porch lights in my head

They stay on all night

Shadows of the past

Still creeping in my sight

I been tryna run

But the hurt still find my bed (find my bed)

I don’t want these memories

But I’ll learn to live instead (live instead)
