Lyrics
White walls and windows that don’t let the dark in Perfect photographs framed in the hallway I walk through these rooms like I’m watching a stranger Living a life that was never meant for me (never meant for me)
I set the table, I smile on cue But there’s a distance I can’t break through These roots won’t take, they never do (they never do, never do)
This isn’t home, this isn’t home I’m just a ghost in a house made of stone This isn’t mine, though I play the part Living a life with a borrowed heart This isn’t home, this isn’t home (not my home, not my home) I won’t stay long (can’t stay long)
Morning coffee tastes like resignation Picture-perfect moments feel like suffocation He reaches for my hand and I’m somewhere else Counting down the days till I’m someone else (someone else, someone else)
I can’t get attached to this corner of heaven These flowers I planted, the paint on the walls The sound of their laughter echoing through hallways It’s beautiful here but it isn’t my call (not my call, not my call) I’m already gone though I’m standing right here (standing right here)
Ooh, ahh, ooh (ahh, ahh, ahh) Mmm, ooh, ahh (ooh, ooh)
Lonely in the perfect life (so lonely, so lonely) Stranger to this paradise (paradise, paradise) I don’t belong, I don’t belong (don’t belong here)
This isn’t home, this isn’t home I’m just a ghost in a house made of stone This isn’t mine, though I play the part Living a life with a borrowed heart This isn’t home, this isn’t home (not my home, never home) I won’t stay long (I’m already gone)
This was never home (never home) I was never home (never, never home)
