Home Lives in the Heart

[Intro] Whispered lights on a kitchen wall, a kettle hums a lullaby I’m learning to love the cluttered truth, where real stories multiply [Verse 1] The feed shines gold, but the dishes tower high Smudges on the glass, a sofa with a sigh Dad’s jokes fall short, but they come with a hug that tries Home isn’t perfect, it’s where we learn to be alive [Pre-Chorus] If I compare my day to someone else’s highlight reel I miss the warmth that only ordinary moments reveal [Chorus] Home lives in the heart, not in a polished frame In the mess and the mercy, love still speaks your name We mend the cracks, we choose to stay Honest hands build a life that won’t fade away [Verse 2] We argue over the thermostat, then kiss away the rain We argue, make up, and try to start again The photos lie quiet while the real talk begins to sing That every cracked corner still glows with something claimed [Bridge] Don’t measure your worth by curated smiles you see Every home’s a story, loud or softly free If love is the measure, then we’re never alone Home lives in the heart, where we’ve learned to own [Chorus] Home lives in the heart, not in a polished frame In the mess and the mercy, love still speaks your name We mend the cracks, we choose to stay Honest hands build a life that won’t fade away [Outro] So breathe with me, in the imperfect light Truth keeps us close, through the day and night Home lives in the heart, where we belong tonight
