[Verse 1] Check If I knew what you knew, then I wouldn't be here And if you knew what I knew, you wouldn't be near I had the best day of my life today, but you don't care It was a house of cards, no you don't care No, you don't care, check [Verse 2] I take another pill just to balance out the mood swings You can only blame me for one of the two things Either I'm as mad as a hatter or I'm drunk as a Lord You knew me way before, back when I was just a poor thing My best friend said you weren't a good person He told me way before, but the truth hurts him He said, "Lad, I know that you're sensitive, but I didn't know that you're this sensitive" Every day, it's another intervention Got me up and down, as you swing it from the fences I said, "Sorry for the text, but I sent it" And it took a long time, but I meant it [Chorus] This is my house, it was built on emotions Each wall's another year I've been broken Tears in the paint, got tears in the frame You don't see it, you just feel it when it rains This is my house, it was built on emotions Each wall's another year I've been broken Tears in the paint, got tears in the frame You don't see it, you just feel it when it rains [Verse 3] Man, I'm from the land of no handouts Now they got their hands out, see the irony You were my friend, then you were my enemy You used to be my enemy, but now you're just a friend of me Asking what I'm smoking on, I said, "Whatever's left of me" There ain't much of it, but I think there's enough of it Had the opportunity, I had to jump on it I hope they know that the album's coming I might tell 'em how I really feel I might tell 'em how I really feel Don't play with me, don't play with me, for real [Chorus] This is my house, it was built on emotions Each wall's another year I've been broken Tears in the paint, got tears in the frame You don't see it, you just feel it when it rains
