Miranda Lambert - The House That Built Me (Lyrics)

[jennifersgod]

My mom really tried to give us a home. So this song reminds me of her. Bless you mama.

These lyrics hit hard. I just moved as a thirteen year old and as I came across this song after a couple years of not hearing it and instantly knowing the lyrics it made me cry. I had lived in the same house for as long as I can remember. It hurts for it to have to be torn away from me. That house has so many random scribbles and scratches on the walls and so many dents that made it unique. There were four horses buried there and so many chickens I couldn't count. I miss it so much. I finally understand how you just want to see it to make it better. Broke my heart and I am now listening to it on repeat 🥹❣️😭

That little house is still there. My nephew lives there but it will never be the same. My guitar. My little dog. The memories. It hurts to see it now

[lynneholt]

Thank you for singing my song. My house was torn down. Just like me. My tire swing gone didn't even leave the tree.

The house where I grew up was recently torn down because it had gotten damaged by flooding in the area. FEMA built a new house for my Dad, but now that my Mom is gone, it was so emotional to see it torn down. That was definitely the house that built me. And the live oak out back still stands where my first dog was buried and where my brother (also now gone) and I made all our life plans and played and imagined. This song is very beautiful. And, it hit me so hard.

[AlderNovelle]

Can't stop crying, I'm 52 went through 7 years of loss, health and agony, God is carrying me but I'm still weak and get lost in the moment too often, this song hits so hard on all the mistakes I made throughout my life.

[romanrizzo]

The craziest part for me is in my old house. My favorite dog really is buried in the yard and the handprints on the front steps were mine and upstairs in that little back bedroom is where I did my homework and I learn to play guitar. My grandfather also died in the house and this song just brings me back every time and I love it so much and I love all of you so much and God bless.❤

[Batmann]

Thank so much for this song Miranda, you're truly a beautiful soul after my own ❤❤

I lost my family home during a really bad season in my life. I took my first steps in that yard. So many good memories with grandparents in the house who passed to my Dad. My sister and I were raised in that good home and I was blessed to be able to raise my son there too. Never take life for granted because it all can skip away in a blink of an eye. This song is beautiful and hits home for me.

i recently moved to another state and right after my grandmas cat passed away which was my great grandmas cat who we took in after she passed. Then my grandpa died and 2 of my animals. I left all of my family and friends back home and recently ive been wanting to go back to be with my family. I used to pass by my childhood home all of the time and we would talk about all of our memories there everytime we passed by there. I miss doing that. I hope that one day when i go back the owners will let me take a look around.

[matthewskufca]

So powerful. It brings back memories. Without even going there.

[mckenziehillis]

I'm crying rn in class bc this song reminds me of my house that burnt a year ago bc I grew up there and it was my childhood home and that was the first place I went after I was born❤

[boombox]

Whenever I touch those old walls it’s like I’m holding hands with the house a flood of emotions and memories

[adalynnshorrorworld]

I forgot how amazing this song was after thirteen years. I was five when this was released, now I’m almost eighteen and about to start college and this song reminded me of how much I was really growing up.

[bonnie]

I really relate to this song so much. Lived in a house with my Mom and grandparents. Upstairs was my uncle and his family and on the top was friends. And just a couple houses away were cousins. Magical years!
Now the house has been empty for many years. It's so sad. Broken windows and siding falling apart. Paint peeling. Breaks my heart. This song hits so hard. I want to go back inside and yet I can't and it would be horrible to see it like it is now for sure. Everyone is gone. Most have passed away. And the house is sad and decaying....

[Bliss_on_paws]

This has always been my childhood song. Every now and then I remember this song, it's my personal favorite, Miranda's songs are always my favorite. Bless you Miranda and keep going on girl!

[ma.richellelasay]

Just found this song because of Selena Gomez and right now I'm crying.. I'm far away from home and I so much wanna go back there. I missed my home so much. It always heals me everytime I go to our province, my hometown.

I really feel out here I am someone else..someone who is in survival mode 😢😢😢

[kaysheffield]

I love this one too. I feel the same about the house that built me. Keep singing Love You ❤️🎵🤠😘

[janelletaylor]

"My favorite dog is buried in the yard..." That hit😞

[jacqulinemccarthey-ohmer]

I graduated and moved out of my tiny hometown, now about 10 years later, I live in a city almost 80x bigger. The house has been sold, the plot divided. My cat may not be under an oak, but he is beneath the apple tree by the blackberry bushes the new owner ripped up. To tell you the truth, most of my memories of that place aren't fond, but the memories of my pets and night skies are. The memories of learning to play guitar and piano are.

I feel this song in my heart. Out here it's like I'm someone else :/ but there's no place that welcomed me to begin with
