They say Home is where the heart is But my heart lays with you Forever as if it always knew That the cure to my illness was to stay around Forcing me to understand just how So I sit and think of what we are now We used to be everything and nothing All in one But now your name doesn’t pop up when I hear my phone ring And I can’t help but wonder What if I didn’t run What if I stayed where I was lying in the sun The what ifs hurt more then knives on skin When I think of you I think of when The past in which we were Crumpled into a timelapsed blur The pitch of your voice soothed my soul All I see is from me which you stole Laughter once emanated from my body deep Now shallow coughs are all I reep Smiles danced across my face Now I can’t seem to find their trace Of who I was so long ago But I want you to know That once you were my home sweet home The love that once found you down to my bone Seems to have run cold Turned to hatred I fear For I never want you near So they say home is where the heart is But my heart has been gone for awhile Killed by all the hurt it has compiled
