The House We Built

Verse

Standing with Lee by the Asda, you didn't say a word

I pretended I didn’t even know you were there

Until I walked away and you messaged me

Saying thanks for ignoring me

You asked to meet the day after by the Mission

Then we spent some time together and you walked me to the bus stop

Verse

Then we met for a few times and we turned up on your mom's door

And we went to Spain to see your nan and grandad, our first holiday

Then we got our first house and fell pregnant with our daughter Isabelle

Looking back at where we started, look how much we’ve grown

Chorus

We drifted away, but we found our way back

Aliza-Mai gave us the strength to know we can get through anything

The love I have for you, Mr. Anderson, is unreal

Loved you from the minute I clapped eyes on you

Today in front of family and friends the love is bigger than anything

Verse

Then came our third baby Poppy, our final piece

She taught us how to be there for each other

How much love we really have in this household

Our home is ours to keep, from the big things to the special memories

Bridge

Ten years of building, ten years of life

Through the tears and the laughter, the struggle and strife

They said it wouldn't be easy, and sometimes they were right

But we fought through the shadows and stayed in the light

It’s the house that we built and the names that we gave

It’s the love that you brought and the way that you stayed

And Leysa, I promise to look after him

Just like you did for the last twenty-nine years

Outro

When I know you're on your way home is when I feel safe

You're my safe place, my best friend, my world and more

From that girl by the Asda to the woman standing here

I love you so much, and I’d choose you for a thousand years more

Isabelle, Aliza-Mai, Poppy and me

We’re finally right where we’re meant to be
