Maria Mena - I was made for loving you

Sabine

Verse 1
We helped build the house with children’s hands,
Digging sod until our bones were tired.
A basement carved from stubborn land,
A family rising was what the house required..

We lived half-finished, in the basement small,
But it held us stubbornly anyway.
The walls were marked with who we were—
All of us, each in our own particular way.

Chorus
And years rolled on like weather,
Building timber over stone.
And the day we finally moved upstairs came
The kitchen, dining and living room, done.

Those were the last rooms we inhabited
She whispered to the finished bones—
"I survived my own childhood home.
You survived with me."

Verse 2
The brothers helped with outside tasks
Mowing grass, burning garbage in the barrel
She did the work inside, the first one tasked
To do the cooking, cleaning, and ironing apparel.

She learned what duty meant and when to leave.
Silence stayed in that house as the family unraveled.
And that old place became a ghost they couldn’t keep.
So Mom and Dad sold it to someone else and travelled.

Chorus
And years rolled on like weather,
She saw changes here and there.
Each time she drove by she wondered
How the family liked the kitchen and the stairs.

The tiny unfinished bathroom used to be her space
Yet, somehow she managed a memory of grace.
"I survived my own childhood home.
You survived with me."

Verse 3
Then one day we heard they burned it down,
A training fire for the town firemen to learn.
No obligation to notify, call or visit first
Just smoke rising where the memories burned.

She drove out later, walked the ash and stone,
Saw the chimney standing like a spine.
Strange how a place can become unknown
While the work we did still lives in time.

Chorus
And years rolled on like weather,
Lumber burning over stone.
That’s the day they burned it down
And left the chimney standing alone.

She walked the ashes afterward
And whispered to a tree: —
"I survived my own childhood home.
You almost survived me."

Bridge
Funny how a place can die and leave you standing more alive—
A person with history still written in the ground.
Some memories don’t fade with fire;
They deepen when the walls are down.

Final Chorus
And so she stood there in the ashes
Where the present used to be—
Charred beams, broken earth,
Memories, the only thing to see.

Outro
No grief left—only the little she left be
A finished truth that let her agree:
"I survived my own childhood home.
But it didn’t survive me."

You Didn't Survive Me
