It's a little past supper time
I'm still out on the porch step sittin' on my behind,
Waiting for you.
Wondrin' if everything's alright,
Momma said,"Come in boy, don't waste your time,"
I said,"I've got time. Well he'll be here soon."
Five years old and talkin' to myself.
Where were you? Where'd ya go?
Daddy can't you tell?
Chorus.
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.
No, there's no one home in my house of pain.
I didn't write these pages
and my script's been re-arranged.
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 line, the same old lie.
How could you?
Well I was eighteen and still talkin' to myself.
Where were you? Where'd ya 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 re-arranged.
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 re-arranged.
No, there's no one home in my house of pain.
No, there's no one home in my house of pain.
No, there's no one home in my house of pain.
No, there's no one home in my house of pain.
And I'm alone again
Well, if I learned anything from this
It's how to live on my own
