House Of Pain

It’s a little past supper time
I’m still out on the porch steps sittin on my behind
Waiting for you
Wondering if everything is all right
Momma said come in, boy, don’t waste your time
I said I’ve got time, he’ll be home soon
I was five years old and talkin' to myself
Where were you?
Where’d ya go?
Daddy can’t you tell?
I’m not tryin' to fake it, and I ain’t the one to blame
No there’s no one home, in my house of pain
And I didn’t write these pages and my scripts been rearranged
No, there’s no one home, in my house of pain
No, there’s no one home, in my house of pain
Wasn’t I worth the time?
A boy needs a daddy like a dance to mime
And all the time, I looked up to you
I paced in my room a million times
And all I ever got was one big lie and the same old lie, how could you?
I was eighteen, still talking to myself
Oh, where were you?
Where’d you go?
Daddy can’t ya tell?
I’m not tryin' to fake it, and I ain’t the one to blame
No, there’s no one home, in my house of pain
And I didn’t write these pages and my scripts been rearranged
No, there’s no one home, in my house of pain
No, there’s no one home, in my house of pain
I was eighteen, still talking to myself
Oh, where were you?
Oh, where’d you go?
Daddy can’t ya tell?
I’m not tryin' to fake it, and I ain’t the one to blame
No, there’s no one home, in my house of pain
So I didn’t write these pages and my scripts been rearranged
No, there’s no one home, in my house of pain
No, there’s no one home, in my house of pain
No, there’s no one home, in my house of pain
