Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You drew a line through the family photograph
Said some names could no longer stay
A child stood waiting by the courthouse door
With a coat too thin for the day
[Chorus]
And I grieve for the rooms you emptied
For the hands you turned away
For the little ones beneath your orders
Who had no words to make you stay
I grieve, though I remember
What your quiet choices cost
A house can keep its windows standing
And still be broken, still be lost
[Verse 2]
You called the tents a place of shelter
While the winter found each seam
You made a narrow shape of human worth
And cast out those who didn’t fit the dream
[Chorus]
And I grieve for the rooms you emptied
For the hands you turned away
For the little ones beneath your orders
Who had no words to make you stay
I grieve, though I remember
What your quiet choices cost
A house can keep its windows standing
And still be broken, still be lost
[Bridge]
I won’t soften what was done
Or dress the wound in gentler names
But somewhere past the locked doors
Someone still tends a small, stubborn flame
[Outro]
You are gone from the chair you sat in
The ache remains, the record stays
And I grieve for those you scattered
While I count the living days
