Every step I take trembles underneath me,
Like the wood remembers things I swore I’d forget.
Every shift, every creak feels familiar,
Like the house is calling out the secrets I’ve kept.

There’s a rhythm in the planks when I’m walking,
A quiet pulse that follows me from room to room.
It’s like they feel the weight I carry in my chest—
Like they know what I’m scared to tell too soon.

And every time the boards bend,
I swear they’re saying my name.
Like they know what I deny—
Know exactly where to aim.

The floorboards know the things I hide,
They hear the cries I never said out loud.
Every creak is a truth I tried to bury,
But it rises through the wood somehow.

The floorboards know when my heart is heavy,
They feel it every time I break inside.
No matter how soft I try to step,
Baby, they hear every lie.

I’ve walked these rooms in silence for years now,
Trying not to leave the weight of who I’ve been behind.
But the floor still shifts under every heartbeat,
Like it knows the nights I didn’t feel alive.

Sometimes I freeze just to stop the sound,
As if the house can’t hear me if I don’t move.
But the truth vibrates through every sliver of wood—
There’s nothing here I can keep from view.

The house learns you slowly,
Takes in everything you bring.
And these boards don’t forget—
They echo everything.

The floorboards know the things I hide,
They hear the cries I never said out loud.
Every creak is a truth I tried to bury,
But it rises through the wood somehow.

The floorboards know when my heart is heavy,
They feel it every time I break inside.
No matter how soft I try to step,
Baby, they hear every lie.

And sometimes late at night,
I swear they speak back to me—
Little groans of memories
I didn’t mean to leave.
They carry every version of me,
Pressed into the grain—
A record of the moments
I couldn’t hold,
I couldn’t name.

The floorboards know the things I hide,
They hear the cries I never said out loud.
Every creak is a truth I tried to bury,
But it rises through the wood somehow.

The floorboards know when my heart is heavy,
They feel it every time I break inside.
No matter how soft I try to step,
Baby, they hear every lie.

I move slow, but they still hear it—
All the weight beneath my feet.
These floorboards know me better
Than anyone I’ll ever meet.
