The House

(intro)
I didn't mean to think
Being okay was a thing
I was really hoping it was
It just made me feel like i
Didn't mean to think
Being alright was real
It just popped up in my mind
Now I regret that i
Thought it was okay, it was alright

(verse 1)
All the smiles are painted
All the hearts are deflated
And no one can seem to do their job right
Put wallpaper on the walls
To cover up the names
Talk over our thoughts
So we don't have to feel the pain

(chorus)
On the inside of the house
There's a storm that tears it down
But everyone wants to see it's alright
So it's sunny on the outside
There's a light on these walls
But it doesn't seem to dry up
All the rain that has fallen
You need a real sun
On the inside of the house
There's a storm that tears it down
But everyone wants to see it's alright
So it's sunny on the outside
There's a light on these walls
But it doesn't seem to dry up
All the rain that has fallen
You need a real sun

(verse 2)
10 layers of insulation
So no one can hear the screams
Turning all of the lights off
So no one can see the tear streams
Cause we know if they saw us
They would think that we need help
Curtains to cover-up
All the pain that lives inside
But we can take them down
We got nothing to hide

(chorus)
On the inside of the house
There's a storm that tears it down
But everyone wants to see it's alright
So it's sunny on the outside
There's a light on these walls
But it doesn't seem to dry up
All the rain that has fallen
You need a real sun
On the inside of the house
There's a storm that tears it down
But everyone wants to see it's alright
So it's sunny on the outside
There's a light on these walls
But it doesn't seem to dry up
All the rain that has fallen
You need a real sun

(bridge)
Oh dear, where has your life gone?
Has your childhood ended very wrong
The story doesn't end here
Only if you let it
So put down your weapons
Love

(chorus)
On the inside of the house
There's a storm that tears it down
(you try to be okay!)
But everyone wants to see it's alright
So it's sunny on the outside
There's a light on these walls
(you wish you were enough!)
But it doesn't seem to dry up
All the rain that has fallen
You need a real sun
(to make things okay!)
On the inside of the house
(let us out!)
There's a storm that tears it down
(we need someone's help!)
But everyone wants to see it's alright
(it's not alright!)
So it's sunny on the outside
(it's dying on the inside!)
There's a light on these walls
(when its not broken!)
But it doesn't seem to dry up
(we've been waiting!)
All the rain that has fallen
(we can't pick it up!)
You need a real sun
Love...

On the inside of the house
There's a storm that tears it down

All the rain that has fallen
You need a real sun
On the inside of the house
There's a storm that tears it down
But everyone wants to see it's alright
So it's sunny on the outside
There's a light on these walls
But it doesn't seem to dry up
All the rain that has fallen
You need a real sun
