Lyrics
[Verse 1]
It's a little past suppertime
I'm still out on the porch steps sittin' on my behind
Waitin' for you
Wonderin' if everything is alright
Mama 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 you go?
Daddy, can't you tell?
[Verse 2]
I'm not tryna 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 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
[Verse 3]
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 years and still talkin' to myself
Where were you?
Where'd you go?
Daddy, can't you tell, no
[Verse 4]
And I'm not tryna 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 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
[Verse 5]
And I'm not tryna 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 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
And I'm alone, yeah, yeah
No, there's no one home in my house of pain
No, there's no one home in my house of pain
[Verse 6]
Well, if I learned anything from this
It's how to live on my own
