After trust was gone

**Verse 1** The house sounds different now the rooms stay empty Footsteps don’t line up like they used to do Your jacket’s still hanging by the back door Like it’s waiting on a reason to move I folded the mail and left it on the counter Same place I always did before I read your words again from that last conversation They don’t land the way they did anymore **Chorus** The truth showed up after trust was gone That’s how it usually works, I guess I believed what you said till belief wore thin And by then, nothing else was left The truth showed up after trust was gone **Verse 2** I keep thinking back to the nights I didn’t ask When answers would’ve come too fast You said nothing was wrong and I let it stand Because quiet felt easier than facts The kids took their things and drove away smiling Said we’d be fine, said we’d figure it out Funny how the house held together for years And came apart once it got quiet and loud **Chorus** The truth showed up after trust was gone Too late to change a thing I took your word like it carried weight Till it didn’t mean anything The truth showed up after trust was gone **Bridge** I don’t replay it to hurt myself I replay it because it stays There’s a difference between being fooled And letting something slide that way **Chorus** The truth showed up after trust was gone No warning, no repair By the time it finally made sense There was nothing left to save in there The truth showed up after trust was gone **Outro** The house is still standing So am I That’s all that’s happening tonight
