They say that home is where the heart is
But my heart is homeless
Left out in the cold
Night after night
There is no place to go
For the broken and the bruised
All I ever wanted was a hand to hold
And someone I could call home
But every time I give someone my heart
They promise to protect it
Promise that I am safe
And then immediately throw my love
Back in my face
And stomp my heart into the ground
Leaving me to pick up the pieces
As I am coughing up blood
It is safe to say love and I are done
So in terms of where my heart is safest
I guess that I can call myself home
I must be the unbreakable foundation
A shelter that can withstand the storm
And not allow my heart to roam
Stay here in my capable hands
No one else will love and care for me like I can
I have to be my own home
I am home
But home has never felt so alone

They say that home is where the heart is
But my heart is homeless
Left out in the cold
Night after night
There is no place to go

But every time I give someone my heart
They promise to protect it
Promise that I am safe
And then immediately throw my love
Back in my face
And stomp my heart into the ground
Leaving me to pick up the pieces
As I am coughing up blood
It is safe to say love and I are done
So in terms of where my heart is safest
I guess that I can call myself home
I must be the unbreakable foundation
A shelter that can withstand the storm
And not allow my heart to roam
Stay here in my capable hands
No one else will love and care for me like I can
I have to be my own home
I am home
But home has never felt so alone
