Lyrics
As I walk through this house of pain
Reflecting on difficult experiences within a metaphorical "house of pain."
The memories still remain
Memories from the past still linger, impacting the present.
Of hours spent just holding you
Nostalgic recollection of intimate moments spent together.
When we were young and so brand new
Referencing a time when the relationship was new and full of promise.
And the pictures still on the wall
Pictures on the wall serve as reminders of better times.
Remind me when I had all
Reflecting on a period when the speaker had everything.
And everything just felt so right
Recollection of a time when everything felt perfect and harmonious.
Holding you without hindsight that…
Expressing a lack of foresight in past happiness.
You, You could change, beyond everything I've ever known
Suggesting the potential for the partner to undergo significant change.
Yeah, you You could change, beyond everything I've ever known
Reiteration of the idea that the partner has the capacity to change profoundly.
If only I could dive in to
Expressing a desire to revisit memories captured in a photograph.
That photograph of me and you
The speaker wishes to understand the emotions within the photograph.
Standing there on the beach
Setting the scene of a significant memory on the beach.
What would I say if I could speak…
Contemplating what the speaker would say if able to communicate with the past self.
To the younger man that I once knew
Addressing the younger version of the speaker who sacrificed for the relationship.
That died to self just to please you
Acknowledging personal sacrifices that ultimately fell short.
But fell so short in the end
Reflecting on shortcomings and disappointments in the relationship.
What would I say if I said "my friend
Pondering what advice the speaker would give to the past self.
You know she, she will change, beyond everything you've every known"
Implying that the partner will undergo significant changes beyond familiarity.
"Yea she she will change, beyond everything you've ever known"
Reiteration of the partner's potential for profound transformation.
And now I have to hide these words
Addressing the need to conceal feelings about changes in the speaker's world.
About the changes in my world
Referring to the impact of changes on the music that once connected the couple.
The music that once pulled you in
Highlighting a shift in the partner's attitude toward the music.
Now repulses you
Comparing the partner's aversion to the music to a sinful act.
Like a sin
