the house that built me - livy jeanne lyrics

[verse 1]
i know they say “you can’t go home again”
i just had to come back one last time
ma’am, i know you don’t know me from adam
but these hand prints on the front steps are mine
up those stairs, in that little back bedroom
is where i did my homework and i learned to play guitar
and i bet you didn’t know under that live oak
my favorite dog is buried in the yard

[chorus]
i thought if i could touch this place or feel it
this brokenness inside me might start healing
out here it’s like i’m someone else
i thought that maybe i could find myself
if i could just come in i swear i’ll leave
won’t take nothing but a memory
from the house that built me

[verse 2]
mama cut out pictures of houses for years
from ‘better homes and garden’ magazine
plans were drawn and concrete poured
nail by nail and board by board
daddy gave life to mama’s dream

[chorus]
i thought if i could touch this place or feel it
this brokenness inside me might start healing
out here it’s like i’m someone else
i thought that maybe i could find myself
if i could just come in i swear i’ll leave
won’t take nothing but a memory
from the house that built me

[bridge]
you leave home, you move on and you do the best you can
i got lost in this whole world and forgot who i am

[chorus]
i thought if i could touch this place or feel it
this brokenness inside me might start healing
out here it’s like i’m someone else
i thought that maybe i could find myself
if i could just come in i swear i’ll leave
won’t take nothing but a memory
from the house that built me
