[verse 1] I burned through everywhere I stayed turned comfort into something I escaped every door I ever called my own felt like somewhere I outgrew alone I kept running from the weight of trying to define a place every time I settled in I felt the walls start closing in [pre chorus] Every road I took to disappear only brought me back to here [chorus] Home was never in the walls never in the place at all I was chasing something fake trying to fill a hollow space I could lose it all again every place, every friend and I’d still know I’m not alone [verse 2] I found pieces in the dark in broken nights and fractured parts in the silence after noise in the absence of a voice In the moments I let go of everything I thought I’d know I felt something start to change like I didn’t need a place [pre chorus 2] Every step that led me here stripped away another fear [chorus] Home was never in the walls never in the place at all I was chasing something fake trying to fill a hollow space I could lose it all again every place, every friend and I’d still know I’m not alone [bridge] If I lose it, let it go watch it fade and let it fall if it leaves, then I’ll know it was never home at all If I break and start again with nothing left to hold I’ll still feel it in my chest something I can’t let go [final chorus] Home was never in the walls never in the place at all it was in me all along I just took the long way on Every step, every scar every loss that took me far led me home to where I am
