Picture This Home

Verse 1
Kitchen walls hold memories we don’t speak,Holes from the nights when I couldn’t sleep.You kept every frame but you dusted them slow,Waiting for the day I’d come back whole.
Verse 2
Now I’m learning to stand in the life we made,Trying to color in the pieces war erased.You say healing’s a canvas, not a race—And you’ll paint with me at whatever pace.
Pre-Chorus
I see the future clearer in your eyes—A home rebuilt, no compromise.
Chorus
Picture this home the way it could be,Laugh lines, sunlight, no ghosts between.If we hold on tight and forgive the past,We’ll frame our future in love that lasts.Picture this home… with you and me.
Bridge
Every new day is a brushstroke true—A masterpiece rising from me and you.
