The house that built me

Verse 1:
I know they say you can't go home again
I just had to come back one last time
Man I know you don't know me from man
There's hand prints on the front stairs are mine

Up those stairs in that little bad bedroom
Is where I did my homework
And I learnt to play guitar
And I bet you didn't know under that (*) my favourite dog is buried in the yard

Chorus:
I thought if I could touch this place of feeling
This brokenness inside me might start healing
I'd hear it's like I'm someone else
I thought that maybe I could find myself
If I could just come in I swear I'd 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 garden magazines
Plans were drawn
Concrete (*) nail by nail and board by board
Daddy gave life to mama's dreams

Chorus:
I thought if I could touch this place of feeling
This brokenness inside me might start healing
I'd hear it's like I'm someone else
I thought that maybe I could find myself
If I could just come in I swear I'd leave
Won't nothing but a memory from the house that built me


Bridge:
You leave home you move on
And do the best you can
I got lost in this world I forgot
Who I am

Chorus:
I thought if I could touch this place of feeling
This brokenness inside me might start healing
I'd hear it's like I'm someone else
I thought that maybe I could find myself
If I could walk around I swear I'd leave
Wanted nothing but a memory from the house that built me
