(Mmm, yeah)
I’m just a ghost in these halls now
Is anybody listening? (Oh)
I look at the walls and I see the pictures of us
Back when the foundation wasn't covered in rust
I admire the life that we promised to build
But the cup of our patience has long been spilled
I’m asking for grace, I’m asking for peace
But the tension in here just refuses to cease
I lay my head down but I’m wide awake
Counting the promises that we couldn't make
Where did the respect go, baby?
Did it vanish in the space between our pride?
I’m a man in this house, but you treat me like a child
Speaking down to me, yeah, it’s driving me wild
I need you to see me, not just watch me walk by
I’m a pilgrim in my own home, asking myself why
(Oh, why)
I’m walking on eggshells on the bedroom floor
I don’t recognize who walks through that door
Every answer is sharp, every word is a stone
I’m living with you, but I’m feeling alone
I used to be your king, now I’m just in the way
Waiting for the sunrise to end the gray
I need to be heard, I need to be seen
Whatever happened to the love that had been?
Where did the respect go, baby?
Did it vanish in the space between our pride?
I’m a man in this house, but you treat me like a child
Speaking down to me, yeah, it’s driving me wild
I need you to see me, not just watch me walk by
I’m a pilgrim in my own home, asking myself why
(I need you, baby)
I don’t want the power, I just want the light
I don’t want the battle, I’m tired of the fight
Can we find the bridge? Can we find the way back?
Or are we just running on a dead-end track?
(Come here, let’s talk)
Maybe I’m broken, maybe I’ve changed
But the way that you talk makes me feel so deranged
A little boy, is that all that you see?
I’m losing my soul in this mystery
I love you, I do, but I’m losing the ground
In a house full of love, there’s no love to be found
Where did the respect go, baby?
Did it vanish in the space between our pride?
I’m a man in this house, but you treat me like a child
Speaking down to me, yeah, it’s driving me wild
I need you to see me, not just watch me walk by
I’m a pilgrim in my own home, asking myself why
I’m a pilgrim in my own home (Mmm)
Where did the respect go?
Just a man in the house, searching for you
(I need you, baby)
Yeah, yeah
(Oh)
It's time to let go.
