Love Was Here

I can’t believe I ever called this my home 

Everything I try to say 
Makes me sound insane 

Why would I go back 
when there’s nothing to go home to?

I wish it didn’t end this way 
You did and always will deserve more 

But why would I go back 
when there’s nothing to go home to 

And there’s so much more that I wanted 
to live beyond this 
But these memories keep unfolding 
In the worst way possible 

I loved it here at one point 
These walls have seen a few things 
And I can’t just pretend like they haven’t 

I can’t face this anymore 
I’ve seen some rancid things 
And I can’t keep pretending like I haven’t 

I wish it didn’t end this way
You did and always will deserve more 

But why would I go back 
when there’s nothing to go home to?
