Walls Built to Stay（版本 2）

Verse

Cardboard boxes stacked like sentinels on the curb

Socks and receipts, a life in plain white labels

I'm folding up this floor I swore would never fold

Every chair leg scuffed from laughter that won't hold

Your key still swings from a hook where it was meant to stay

Paint's dry now but the smell of yesterday lingers on every wall

I left my name in the grout, walked out with nothing at all

Pre-Chorus

So why does it feel like I'm carrying more than this truck bed holds

Why does a single suitcase feel heavier than all of the gold we never kept

Chorus

Maybe walls built to stay are just doors in disguise

Every wall that falls becomes the ceiling when you arrive

I'm not scared of empty rooms, I'm scared of what I'll become if I don't learn how to let go without this pain — it's proof that something better's coming back again

Verse

Last check cleared at three on a Tuesday, direct deposit blues

Cousin offered space, said the couch is still yours too

I drove through the same four lanes every week just to prove I could stay

Now I'm driving out with my hands off the wheel for the first time in years

Found your old t-shirt folded under the bed like it's waiting for you

Kept the framed picture but the frame was never enough

Every mirror I passed this morning showed a stranger staring back at me with eyes of somebody who finally knows how to let go

Pre-Chorus

So why does it feel like I'm carrying more than this truck bed holds

Why does a single suitcase feel heavier than all of the gold we never kept

Chorus

Maybe walls built to stay are just doors in disguise

Every wall that falls becomes the ceiling when you arrive

I'm not scared of empty rooms, I'm scared of what I'll become if I don't learn how to let go without this pain — it's proof that something better's coming back again

Bridge

Maybe leaving wasn't the end at all

It was just a doorway built taller than I stood before at all

I won't need you holding onto every shred of yesterday

Every goodbye was just an exit off the highway — not the road itself, just the turn that led me here

Chorus

Maybe walls built to stay are just doors in disguise

Every wall that falls becomes the ceiling when you arrive

I'm not scared of empty rooms, I'm scared of what I'll become if I don't learn how to let go without this pain — it's proof that something better's coming back again
