LYRICS:
We moved to a place with a view off of 8th avenue after we said I do
And we watched cars of bachelorettes, 2AM cigarettes and traffic headed downtown
And the interstate was so loud, there was a lot it had to drown out
We played the part five nights, but we were never there on the weekends, baby
We got along real nice, but when I left town, did you hate me?
One day, the curtain started coming down
I changed the second we were moving out
I guess wrong can look alright
When you’re playing home in a penthouse, baby
I bought the house with a fence, enough room for some kids, a backyard for Dibs
And I thought that would make it all better, and maybe forever wouldn’t feel like the walls closing in
‘cause how does that even make sense?
Now that I think about it, it never did
We played the part five nights, but we were never there on the weekends, baby
We got along real nice, but when I left town, did you hate me?
One day, the curtain started coming down
You changed the second we were moving out
I guess wrong can look alright
When you’re playing home in a penthouse, baby
‘cause we were playing home in a penthouse, baby
It hurts putting shit in a box
And now we don’t talk
And it stings rolling up the welcome mat
Knowing you got half
I kissed someone new last night
But now I don’t know where you’re sleeping, baby
We got along real nice, until I wanted out, now I know you hate me
One day, the curtain started coming down
We changed the second we were moving out
I guess wrong can look alright
When you’re playing home in a penthouse, baby
We were playing home in a penthouse, baby
Cause we were playing home in a penthouse, baby
I just bought the house that we saw
You said it was wrong
I wanted it all along

such an amazing song. Hopefully the whole EP will get Grammy's recognition next year!

Grammys are later this year

[@vickiheiney]

Her voice is perfection. The fact that she sounds this good live, with barely any accompaniment but also puts so much emotion into her song is just incredible and so beautiful.

[@xkastl3z]

One of the best and worst parts of having an emotional personality is when a song hits it just hits. I can't relate to what she went through but I can relate to the pain side of LOVE! She's amazing!

[@heathervincent3883]

I feel the same way

[@RenaeJS]

Not many artists sound just as amazing live as they do on their record. I love this song so much ❤ the emotion in her voice brings me to tears. God knows I feel this song, and the rest of the ep.....

[@moorganleigh]

Brings tears every single time I hear her sing it. What a beautiful performance.

[@hsojsmith3991]

She's a Merry Christmas ho ho ho

[@shawnperry5983]

I SAW THIS LIVE IN THE OPRY!!! The goosebumps were real and Kelsea is a true star❤️

[@user-ek7rj7fz5q]

I've followed her forever.Every concert I went to when she came here in Maine. This is simply mesmerizing what a breathtaking gift when she sings from the soul❤❤❤

[@nataliemelcher4737]

This performance is incredible. Her performances of Penthouse on tour have all been amazing, but the intimacy of the Grand Ole Opry stage takes this one to another level.

[@maleficentmills]

this is such an interesting speech because rolling up the welcome mat is the only album of hers that i like (i've tried to go back and listen to her others since i discovered it but i don't like them at all) and i think it's because she truly had something worth saying - that she needed to say. i really think she should consider tapping into that in her future work and not worry so much about the other stuff because listeners will find the authenticity in a song or an album and connect with it whether it initially seems like it will be 'good on radio' or 'play well live' (which i think these songs DO anyway) or not

[@chefnavi]

not usually a country listener but this song and message is incredible

[@jennfarace8530]

She’s simply amazing and that whole EP has all the feels❤️

[@nancyd9195]

This artist sets the bar for performers. I love that I always have to check who’s singing when she puts out a new song. They go from playfull to crazy funny, wistful and to this masterpiece flawlessly. She could never be boring and I hope her career always feels fresh and fulfilling to her.

[@TheAlfredPlatform]

A breath of fresh air. May all her dreams come true.

[@ananyadutta1154]

Oh my Goodness! The way they sang "Did you hate me?", and "It never did."

[@MaichansLyrics]

Every time i hear you perform this song, i always end up with tears in my eyes because i am so proud over you and the fact that you got through it even when it had some doubts in the beginning. This is one of the reasons i look up to you, you write the most amazong songs and this must be one of my all time favorites! ❤❤❤

[@ertech246]

Just an amazing women that sings from her heart which is what country music is all about !!!

[@k.thomaz3339]

Just hearing this song for the first time. I had to watch this / listen twice. It’s amazing. You can feel all of the emotions here. I can’t wait to see how far Kelsea goes with her career.

[@user-mq1vb2fl9o]

Philip thank you hear beautiful voice woman

[@Darwinenzoy-pc3wg]

Yes, i real find, the feeling real from natural alam semesta.🙂

[@tuxieballard940]

She needed a man, not a boy, and I hope she finds the man who will fight for her love every day.

[@TheVonzink]

She had a man, who wanted a real marriage and a family, that was too boring for a megastar. It’s the curse of the ultra famous to live lonely.

[@Staybeautiful13]

But I wanted it all ALOOOONG!!! Yessss kelseaaaa

[@RoxanneHernandez-vv2is]

Kelsea Ballerini yr amazing singer im so sorry about what happened at least u made it five years of marriage

[@Eric768]

Hi @KelseaBallerini what is going on sending hugs Love you Kelsea bye❤️

[@user-mq1vb2fl9o]

Yes need more smile people

[@timyerkey5686]

You are amazing

[@dylanvest5997]

Only child here too! This song has been so cathartic as I think about my past relationship. I always think about how empowering the end of the song is: I bought the house that we saw, he said it was wrong, I wanted it all along. I want to do the same

[@user-mq1vb2fl9o]

Yes you happy you

[@stephaniegonzalez9562]

Hii Kelsea I’m a huge fan of ur music keep up the amazing work
