House of Pain

It's a little past suppertime I'm still out on the porch step, sittin' on my behind Waitin' for you Wonderin' if everything was 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? I'm not trying to 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 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 18 and still talkin' to myself Where were you? Where'd you go? Daddy, can't you tell? No? And I'm not tryin' to 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 I'm not tryin' to 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 again, yeah) No, there's no one home in my house of pain No, there's no one home in my house of pain I'm alone again Well, if I learned anything from this It's how to live on my own
