The singer is saying welcome to her past, it is the room she hides in.
She would invite possibly a potential new love into her life but she is finding it hard to let go of the past
The windows seeing her pain is both figurative and literal, you can see straight through her and into her pain
The cur...
[Intro]
Never was enough in the way that you wanted
Never was enough…
[Verse 1]
Welcome to the room I hide in
I'd invite you in to stay but I'm tryna
Get out of here
The windows see my pain, they feel it
The curtains know my name, they scream it
Get out of here
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't know why I can never leave
When all that I'm left with are memories
I guess I want your ghost as my company
[Chorus]
This house is full of the things we did
But you're still ringing in my empty head
I can't let go of the way we left
I can't let go of you
And now I'm hanging on by a thread
But you're still ringing in my empty head
I can't let go of the way we left
I can't let go of you
[Verse 2]
To the left and down the hallway
Pictures hang from crooked nails
Get out, get out
I can't get out of here
The doors keep falling off, I feel them
The rooms have twisted thoughts and I hear them
Get out
Get out of here
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't know why I can never leave
When all that I'm left with are memories
I guess I want your ghost as my company
[Chorus]
This house is full of the things we did
But you're still ringing in my empty head
I can't let go of the way we left
I can't let go of you
And now I'm hanging on by a thread
But you're still ringing in my empty head
I can't let go of the way we left
I can't let go of you
[Bridge]
And this house is full
Of the things that we did
And my bed has known
Every inch of your skin
Well I can't let go
Of the way that we left
Now my bath, it floods
With your silhouette
[Chorus]
This house is full of the things we did
But you're still ringing in my empty head
I can't let go of the way we left
I can't let go of you
And now I'm hanging on by a thread
But you're still ringing in my empty head
I can't let go of the way we left
I can't let go of you
