House of Secrets

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You kept your phone face down beside the sink Said it was nothing, gave me time to think But every answer changed its shape by dawn I held the door while you were already gone [Pre-Chorus] I knew the room was telling me the truth Before I heard it from somebody else about you [Chorus] You built a house out of secrets and lies Painted the windows so I couldn't see inside I gave you every honest part of me You gave me reasons I could never believe Now every promise sounds rehearsed in your mouth I loved the person you kept hidden somehow You built a house out of secrets and lies And left me standing where the truth survives [Verse 2] Your jacket still hangs behind the kitchen chair A little proof that you were ever there I found the names you swore you didn't know Tucked in a receipt from two weeks ago [Pre-Chorus] You called it mercy, keeping me confused But mercy doesn't make a liar out of the truth [Chorus] You built a house out of secrets and lies Painted the windows so I couldn't see inside I gave you every honest part of me You gave me reasons I could never believe Now every promise sounds rehearsed in your mouth I loved the person you kept hidden somehow You built a house out of secrets and lies And left me standing where the truth survives [Bridge] Don't ask me to forgive what you won't name Don't turn your silence into someone else's blame I won't keep carrying the weight you concealed The wound is ugly, but at least it's real [Final Chorus] You built a house out of secrets and lies Painted the windows so I couldn't see inside I gave you every honest part of me Now I can take back what you made me believe Let every promise fall apart on the floor I don't need your hidden story anymore You built a house out of secrets and lies I found the door, and this time I decide [Outro] This time I decide This time I decide
