House of Pain

It's a little past supper time

I'm still out on the porch steps

Sitting on my behind waiting for you

Wonder if everything was alright

Mama said, come in boy, don't waste your time

I said, I got time, he'll be home soon

And I was five years old and a-talking to myself

Where were you?

Where'd you go?

Daddy, can't you tell?

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

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

Wasn't I worth the time?

A boy needs his daddy like a dance to mime

And all the time, I looked up to you

I pace in my room a million times

And all I ever got was one big lie, the same old lie

How could you?

I was eighteen, still talking to myself

Ah, where were you?

And where'd you go?

Daddy, can't you tell?

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

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

I was eighteen, still talking to myself

Ah, where were you?

Ah, where'd you go?

Daddy, can't you tell?

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

So, 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

No, there's no one home in my house of pain
