She can talk for hours
|
words don't cover the scars.
|
She thinks she's crazy,
|
but they've just pushed her too far.
|
She runs to the mirror
|
Only savior she's known
|
Another slap on her face
|
Cause nobody's home.
|
|
Mother's always working
|
Slinging beer on the side.
|
Her dad's watching TV
|
And he's still getting high.
|
She knows he'll be waiting
|
Tryinto get her alone.
|
She hangs out on the corner
|
Cause nobody's home.
|
|
All she ever wanted
|
was a place on this earth
|
She shouts for a savior
|
For anyone to hear her
|
All she ever needed
|
Was hope in a world
|
In a world where she feels all alone
|
cause nobody's home
|
|
She cries for attention
|
Hanging on by a thread.
|
She can't stop the screaming
|
going on in her head.
|
Tears on the pillow
|
These are things she won't miss
|
Nothing to believe in
|
So it comes down to this.
|
|
Blood on the mirror,
|
Temptation is bliss.
|
Pills on the table,
|
She just couldn't resist.
|
Now nobody's home.
|
|
All she ever wanted
|
was a place on this earth
|
She shouts for a savior
|
For anyone to hear her
|
All she ever needed
|
Was hope in a world
|
In a world where she feels all alone
|
cause nobody's home.
