This is the room with the cream colored walls
This is the room where i cried all night
Don't you remember the screaming and yelling?

This is the room where i tell my secrets
This is the room where my heart broke in two
Don't you remember seeing me cry?

This is the room with a thousand secrets, all told by me
This is the room where i first felt true love
This is the room that i poured my heart into
Don't you remember me curled in a ball?

This is the room where you got a concussion
This is the room that my brother composed in
This is the room that once wasn't mine
This room that holds mice in it's walls
This is the room where the wind blows in
Don't you remember the cold winter nights?

This is the room where i stayed up all night
This is the room where i listen to music
This is the room where i do all my schoolwork
This is the room where i sleep at night
This is the room where i dream and i scream
Don't you remember me thrashing in my sleep?

This is the room where i over think life
This is the room where i hurt myself bad
This is the room where my mom reprimands me
This room will always be in my mind and my heart
This is the room that i grew up in
Don't you remember me young and innocent?

This is the room where i hang with my friends and we share secrets
Things that happen in this room make me smile and they make me cry
Oh the bittersweet memories that this room brings to me
This room has seen scads of people
Do you remember them all?

This room sees me at all times of day
The walls with holes stare me down night and day
Sometimes they open for me and sometimes they shut me in
Sometimes i feel these walls are my refuge
Sometimes i feel these walls are my prison
This is the room where i talk to my favorite person in the whole wide world
Don't you remember when we talked the first time?

This room where i have felt love and heartbreak, happiness and sadness
This room gives me courage
This room has seen many days and many nights
This room has seen blizzards
This room has seen trees snapped in half
This room has been here for years
It's seen renovations and farm animals
I cover the walls with as much as i can to try and forget the pain they have caused
This room that has heard phone conversations that made me laugh and that made me cry
Do you remember them too?

This is the room where i've had terrible headaches
The room where we nearly broke the floor
This room holds memories of others before me
Others before my family moved here
The room that looks at the woods and the road
It's view is of trees and flowers
This room has seen pets buried
This room has seen pets born
Do you remember the little puppies' faces?

This is the room that has seen many ages of children
This room has seen more than my tears
This room has seen the tears of many years
This room has seen cats and dogs, here and then gone
They came into my heart and then were ripped away from me
This is the room where i was betrayed
Do you remember my rage?

This is the room where i keep my promises
This is the room where i have my most fun
This is the room where i came undone
This is the room where i found myself
This room made me lose myself again
Do you remember my confusion?

This room heard the phone conversations that brought me back to life
The conversations that healed my heart
This room doesn't know it, it doesn't have a brain, but this room killed me and brought me back to life again
This room has seen me at my best and at my worst
Do you remember those times?

This room doesn't understand, there is only one who does
This is the room with the imminent doom
This room that will soon be sold
This room will be sold to someone else
They can make their own memories in the room that broke me
