Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I haven't ever really found a place that I call home
I never stick around quite long enough to make it
I apologize once again, I'm not in love
But it's not as if I mind that your heart ain't exactly breaking
It's just a thought, only a thought
[Chorus]
But if my life, is for rent
And I don't learn to buy
Well, I deserve nothing more, than I get
'Cause nothing I have, is truly mine
[Verse 2]
Always thought that I would love to live by the sea
To travel the world alone and live more simply
I have no idea, what's happened to that dream
'Cause there's really nothing left here to stop me
It's just a thought, only a thought
[Chorus]
But if my life, is for rent
And I don't learn to buy
Well, I deserve nothing more, than I get
'Cause nothing I have, is truly mine
But if my life, is for rent
And I don't learn to buy
Well, I deserve nothing more, than I get
'Cause nothing I have, is truly mine
[Bridge]
While my heart is a shield
And I won't let it down
While I am afraid to fail
So, I won't even try
Well, how can I say, I'm alive
[Chorus]
But if my life, is for rent
And I don't learn to buy
Well, I deserve nothing more, than I get
'Cause nothing I have, is truly mine
But if my life, is for rent
And I don't learn to buy
Well, I deserve nothing more, than I get
'Cause nothing I have, is truly mine
[Verse 3]
'Cause nothing I have, is truly mine
'Cause nothing I have, is truly mine
'Cause nothing I have, is truly mine
