Walk Back Home

[Verse 1]
You built this hallway out of things I couldn't say
Frames on the walls hold every borrowed blame
I know the floorboards by the weight of every lie
Still I keep walking like the door is somewhere mine

[Pre-Chorus]
I hear the old names rattling in the heat
I turn the key; they turn it back on me

[Chorus]
This house is in my head, but I can leave a room
I can face the dust and let the windows open soon
Regret can keep its picture; shame can keep its throne
I am not the house, I am the one who walks back home

[Verse 2]
The kitchen clock is stuck on what I should have done
A cracked blue cup still holds the shape of everyone
I take the stairs slow, let the silence lose its claim
One honest breath, and I can say my own name

[Breakdown]
I was wrong
I am here
I can carry what I did
Without living there

[Final Chorus]
This house is in my head, but I can leave a room
I can face the dust and let the windows open soon
Regret can keep its picture; shame can keep its throne
I am not the house, I am the one who walks back home

[Outro]
One room at a time
I walk back home
