Verse
I found the silver frame twisted on the floor
Keys missing from the hook by the door
Mom said your brother needed cash again
I counted the empty spaces of every friend
Pre-Chorus
Same house
Same cracks in the wall
Same voice
That don't sound like home at all
Chorus
This is not the house I grew up in
This is not the hand that tucked me in
I'm a stranger sorting through the things they stole
This is not the house I grew up in
Verse
Dad's old records sold for pocket change
Hearts that broke don't mend the same
I asked where the family photos went
She said what's the point of them
Pre-Chorus
Same room
Same bed in the corner
Same ghost
That don't know her
Chorus
This is not the house I grew up in
This is not the hand that tucked me in
I'm a stranger sorting through the things they stole
This is not the house I grew up in
Bridge
Forgiveness feels like a locked door
Keys I threw away before
I can't find my way back anymore
The foundation's crumbling to the floor
Chorus
This is not the house I grew up in
This is not the hand that tucked me in
I'm a stranger sorting through the things they stole
This is not the house I grew up in
