No Home

Life’s a chase, seems a waste
As she breathes in the smoke
Another pill, another drink
She’s been waiting through
All the fire and the ashes
That lead to an endless road
Another night, it’s a fight
As she sits by the phone
Take a breath, need a rest
She’s been waiting for him
To say it’s the day
She doesn’t have to be alone anymore
To survive another day
She needs the heart she gave away
She’s been waiting in a house
That ain’t no home
She’s aching for something to take
When the battle is gone, oh
She keeps waiting, knowing something’s wrong
And she’s tired of trying to keep her from dying alone
In a house that ain’t no home
Shed a tear, now it’s clear
It’s the end of the rope
Need some time to rewind
She’s been patient through
All the lies in her mind
She dies a little more inside every night
It’s a pace, not a race
She thinks she’s getting old
It’s the guilt that will kill
She’s been patient
Though it’s been slow and she knows
It’s like she’s bathing in self loathe
To survive another day
She needs the heart she gave away
She’s been waiting in a house
That ain’t no home
She’s aching for something to take
When the battle is gone, oh
She keeps waiting, knowing something’s wrong
And she’s tired of trying to keep her from dying alone
In a house that ain’t no home
She’s been waiting in a house
That ain’t no home
And she’s aching for something to take
When the battle’s gone
She’s been waiting, knowing something’s wrong
And she’s tired of trying to keep her from dying alone
In a house that ain’t no home
Ain’t no home
