In a house we built

[Verse 1] We painted every doorway Marked their heights along the wall Sunday shoes by the heater Crayons ground into the hall You’re folding tiny T-shirts I’m fixing what the dog chewed through All the quiet All the chaos Was the world I had with you [Chorus] How do you lose a love like that After baby names and baseball bats After all these rooms we filled With plans and paychecks Tears and bills I know the papers say we’re through But every cupboard holds some proof Ten years later Truth is cruel: I’m still living In a house I built with you [Verse 2] You take the plants I keep the records Divide the glasses Forks And knives Argue over who gets Christmas Like we’re splitting up our lives There’s glitter in the carpet From a birthday three years gone Even when you say you’re leaving Part of you is hanging on [Chorus] How do you lose a love like that After bedtime songs and parking chats After all these rooms we filled With sleepless nights and stubborn will I know the papers say we’re through But every cupboard holds some proof Ten years later Truth is cruel: I’m still living In a house I built with you [Bridge] I still park in my same place (out of habit) Set one extra plate by mistake (can’t grab it) Your joke’s in the fridge on an old takeout box Your name’s in the dust on the top of the clocks We didn’t end in fire Just faded out of view But everywhere I turn I find Some quiet echo of you [Chorus] How do you lose a love like that After baby names and baseball bats After all these rooms we filled With plans and paychecks Tears and bills I know the papers say we’re through But every cupboard holds some proof Ten years later Truth is cruel: I’m still living In a house I built with you (Still here, still here) In a house I built With you
