It'Ll Never Be Home
It'll never be home

I went through our boxes
And found too many memories
All wrapped up in good and bad
I found it overwhelming
I gave it all away, yeah
So many beautiful things
So many things that
Reminded me of us
And, yes, there are moments
Oh, yes, there are those moments
When I wish I could get it all back
Again... Again... Again...
But, now, here I am
With nothing but a house
It'll never be home
Without you here
A shell of a house
No pictures or photographs
Nothing that says
That we were one
Ever...Ever...Before...
Ever...Ever...More...
I live in this space
It's too much for one person
Insulated from neighbours
Far from the maddening crowd
It took me years
But I found my inner peace
Away from the world
Away from who we were
And, yes, there are moments
Oh, yes, there are those moments
When I wish I could get it all back
Again... Again... Again...
But, now, here I am
With nothing but a house
It'll never be home
Without you here
A shell of a house
No pictures or photographs
Nothing that says
That we were one
Ever...Ever...Before...
Ever...Ever...More...
It'll never be home
Without you here
It's never home
Unless you're here
With me... With me... With me...
I miss you... I miss you... I miss you...
