[Verse 1] She set her keys in the bowl Too soft to make a sound The empty house stood waiting Like it didn’t want her found A glass beside the water Dust along the frame Everything sat waiting there Like she still had the same name She stood there with her coat on One hand on the door The room looked right through her Like it had seen souls like hers before She smelled like something stronger Than she ever meant to know She would never take that road But somehow here she stood alone [Refrain] She came home WRONG She came home LATE The light stayed ON The walls stayed STRAIGHT Nothing FELL Nothing MOVED Nothing KNEW What she had DONE She came home WRONG And the empty house stayed STILL [Verse 2] She washed her face in silence Till the water lost its heat Watched the makeup disappear And run beneath the sink She scrubbed a little harder Like the night was on her skin Like she could wash the alcohol away And find herself again Mirror over the sink Didn’t ask her where she’d been Just handed back a stranger With her mouth and her skin She thought the floor might answer She thought the dark might bend But the clock kept cutting seconds Off the same old end [Refrain] She came home WRONG She came home LATE The light stayed ON The walls stayed STRAIGHT Nothing FELL Nothing MOVED Nothing KNEW What she had DONE She came home WRONG And the empty house stayed STILL [Bridge] She wanted thunder She wanted proof A crack in the ceiling Some hard brutal truth But the fridge kept humming The faucet still dripped And sorry sat heavy On the back of her lips She looked down at the bottle Like it knew her name She whispered, “This is not me” But the silence stayed the same She never thought she'd need it Never thought she'd drink Never thought one night could take her Closer to the edge than she could think [Final Refrain] She came home WRONG She came home LATE The light stayed ON The walls stayed STRAIGHT Nothing FELL Nothing MOVED Nothing KNEW What she had DONE (silent gasp) She came home WRONG She came home WRONG— Oohhhhhh… [Outro] The room stayed warm The night stayed long She took off her coat Washed the night away The makeup went down with the water The bottle stayed behind She stood there in the mirror Trying to recognize her eyes She came home wrong But she came home And when the morning came She faced it clear and sober No bottle in her hands No running from herself She came home wrong But she stayed sober She finally found the right home Inside herself
