Not A Home

Not a home (home) Not a home (home) Home… Home… They always told me I would be nothing— Just a shadow fading in the dust Worthless was the word they chose, I fought so hard, but it was never enough You tear me down, You kick me to the ground Nothing to save here, Nothing left to give… This is not a home These four walls hold no comfort— They're just prison dressed in plaster and stone This is not a home (home), Tear down the walls closing in, Break them open—let me go This is not a home (home), Never a home She was never there when I needed her, Always out living her own life I was just the echo in an empty house, The one she'd come home to—never the one she saw She never told me that she cared, She ripped my heart out, handed it to someone else This is not a home These four walls hold no comfort— They're just prison dressed in plaster and stone This is not a home (home), Tear down the walls closing in, Break them open—let me go This is not a home (home), Never a home I bled for this—I gave it everything But I was always overlooked, always second— Others took the credit, wore my crown No friends here, no one who sees— They only care about themselves I'm so tired of trying… I'm already gone This is not a home These four walls hold no comfort— They're just prison dressed in plaster and stone! This is not a home (home), I'll tear these walls down with my bare hands, Break them open and disappear This is not a home (home), Never a home! Then I found a place, Quiet, warm, my space Nobody hurts me here, Nobody lies to my face No more knives in my back, Just silence—soft and black A place I can breathe… This is a home This is home My home (home), My home (home)… Forever my home
