“Had It All”
That yard seems so much bigger
Rooms are smaller than I remember
Daddy duct-taped up my bedroom window
To keep the cold winter out
Sharpie on the kitchen door frame
Screen door that never did shut straight
It wasn’t the kind of place on the pages of a magazine
But in the cracks of the paint, I see what I used to be
That house ain’t our house anymore
Now home ain’t walking through the door
I know they say you can’t go back
But sometimes I just need that
Feeling I felt in those walls
Smile like the pictures in the halls
We didn’t have it all together
But together, we had it all
Together, we had it all
Packed up all those memories
First lock of curls and first-place trophies
Scrapbooks of every birthday party
And all those Christmas Eves
New people moved in when we moved out
Sometimes I can’t help but think about
Does that place get as lonely as I do
Without all that love we fit under that roof?
That house ain’t our house anymore
And home ain’t walking through the door
I know they say you can’t go back
But sometimes I just need that
Feeling I felt in those walls
Smile like the pictures in the halls
We didn’t have it all together
But together, we had it all
Together, we had it all
You could drive by and you wouldn’t even blink
Oh, but it was everything, it was everything to me (To me, oh)
That house ain’t our house anymore
And home ain’t walking through the door
I know they say you can’t go back
But sometimes I just need that
Feeling I felt in those walls
Smile like the pictures in the halls
We didn’t have it all together
But together, we had it all
Together, we had it all
Mm
