It's a little past supper time
I'm still out on the porch steps
Sittin on my behind, waiting for you
Wondering if everything is all right
Momma said come in boy don't waste your time
I said I've got time will he be here soon
Five years old and talkin to myself
Where were you? Where'd ya go?
Daddy can't you tell?
I'm not tryin to fake it
And I ain't the one to blame
No there's no one home
In my house of pain
And I didn't write these pages and
My scripts been rearranged
No there's no one home
In my house of pain
No There's no one home
In my house of pain.
Wasn't I worth the time
A boy needs a daddy like a dance to mime
And all the time, I looked up to you
I paced my room a million times
And all I ever got was one big lie
The same old lie
How could you?
Well I was eighteen and still talking to myself
Where were you? Where'd you go?
Daddy can't ya tell?
I'm not tryin to fake it
And I ain't the one to blame
No there's no one home
In my house of pain
I didn't write these pages
And my script's been rearranged
No there's no one home
In my house of pain
No there's no one home
In my house of pain
I'm not tryin to fake it
And I ain't the one to blame
No there's no one home
In my house of pain
I didn't write these pages
And my script's been rearranged
No there's no one home
In my house of pain
no there's no one home
In my house of pain
(I'm alone again)
No there's no one home in my house of pain (x2)
(I'm alone again)
If I learned anything from this
It's how to live on my own!
My meaning isn't about divorce it's about the pain I've carried in my heart since my mother committed suicide when I was 16 and I'm now 53! Also, The severe, chronic back PAIN I've had to deal with since I had failed back surgery in 2004! There are all kinds of pain that people have to cope with on a daily basis! But in so many other ways God has truly blessed me!
