Lyrics

So tired lay awake at night
Walked upstairs, flicked on the light
This house tells me what I miss the most
Curled up inside my own little world
Getting hassled but his lesson's learnt
Staying true's more trouble than it's worth
Drawing lines on my favourite shirt
Don't pretend like it's not gonna hurt
Getting lost in future thoughts
(Nobody's home)
Never learn from what I'm taught
(Nobody's home)
This house tells me what I miss the most
(Nobody's home)
You're all just guests and I'm the host
(Nobody's home)
Getting hassled but his lesson's learnt
Staying true's more trouble than it's worth
Drawing lines on my favourite shirt
Don't pretend like it's not gonna hurt
The northern lights, the northern lights (x4)
The northern lights, the northern lights (x2)
The northern lights, the northern lights (x4)
Getting hassled but his lesson's learnt
Staying true's more trouble than it's worth
Drawing lines on my favourite shirt
Don't pretend like it's not gonna hurt
Getting hassled but his lesson's learnt
Staying true's more trouble than it's worth
Drawing lines on my favourite shirt
Don't pretend like it's not gonna hurt
The northern lights, the northern lights (x2)
