Lyrics

Four walls don't make a home
I learned that on my own
Locked inside
Locked inside those bedroom walls
While they lived free down the hall
Same house, different set of rules
We were less than, they had it all
You fed their lives and ignored our needs
Taught us silence, not to speak
We were there but never seen
Just something in between
They said"be grateful, this is love"
But love shouldn't hurt for asking
Home isn't where they kept us
Or where they taught us shame
It's not the walls that held us
Or the voices that placed the blame
Home is in the moments
We swore we'd be okay
In every silent promise
That we would find a way
I built a life they couldn't own
I made my heart a home
I made my heart a home
Sometimes hunger tucked us in
Empty plates, hidden wrongs
Punished just for needing more
Danced in silence, just us two
We whispered secrets just to breathe
Shared every fear we couldn't leave
Held each other through the pain
Two broken hearts learning to remain
Confined nights and stolen pride
Nowhere safe to run and hide
You called it care, I call it war
A child shouldn't have to endure
Home isn't where they kept us
Or where they taught us shame
It's not the walls that held us
Or the voices that placed the blame
Home is in the moments
We swore we'd be okay
In every silent promise
That we would find a way
I built a life they couldn't own
I made my heart a home
I made my heart a home
You don't get to call that love
You don't get to make that claim
We were just children
And you gave us pain
We survived in spite of you
Now I sleep without that fear
No locked doors, no voices here
I hear laughter in these halls
No more waiting for the fall
I learned love from what you're not
From every wound, from every thought
And I swore when I got free
This would end with me
Home isn't where I came from
It's everything I chose
It's in the arms that hold me
Not the ones that left me cold
Home is in the future
I fought like hell to claim
In every piece of kindness
I give but never gained
I broke the past you set in stone
I made a life, I made a home
Four walls don't make a home
But now I'm not alone
