No Place Like Home

(album: Upright Animals - 2022)

Hello, is anybody home?
What's another night on my own?
When it's all I've ever known
Just a kid, already fully grown

I keep the tv on
Just for conversation
To feel less alone

Raised by yourself
Disappointed in how you turned out
On an empty stomach in an empty house
Spending most nights trying to sneak out

Don't you know?
There's no place like home

Life comes at you so suddenly
They fight I pretend I'm asleep
Tried your best I know you did
Just to stay together for the kids

I keep the radio
On mommas favorite station
To feel less alone

Raised by yourself
Disappointed in how you turned out
On an empty stomach in an empty house
Spending most nights trying to sneak out

Don't you know, there's no place like home
Don't you know, there's no place like home
That's just a lie we're told

I remember better days
Is something I wish I could say
But you cut down the family tree
That build the broken home for me

Raised by yourself
Disappointed in how you turned out
On an empty stomach in an empty house
Spending most nights trying to sneak out

Yah yah
You're raised by yourself
Disappointed in how you turned out
On an empty stomach in an empty house
Spending most nights trying to sneak out

Don't you know, there's no place like home
Don't don't don't you know, there's no place like home
There's no place like home
There's no place like home
That's just a lie we're told
