I built myself a home Made of pieces of me Made of things I saw And things I felt I built myself a home Only using what I needed Only using what was there And only what was exceptional I built myself a home Long before I was old enough to know   Long before I was old enough to see What it was like to love the ones around me I built myself a home Because I wanted nothing to do with anyone else Because I wanted it to just be me and the earth I built it because I didn't know I didn't know what was beyond those trees I didn't know who was in those houses But I knew the forest And I knew myself I built myself a home It was safe It was still And It was enough for me I built myself a home But seasons change And water flows And the tide carries you somewhere new Somewhere new to build a home Maybe now I can grow Maybe now I don't have to be alone Maybe now I can build a home For you

I built myself a home
I built myself a home Made of pieces of me Made of things I saw And things I felt I built myself a home Only using what I needed Only using what was there And only what was exceptional I built myself a home Long before I was old enough to know   Long before I was old enough to see What it was like to love the ones around me I built myself a home Because I wanted nothing to do with anyone else Because I wanted it to just be me and the earth I built it because I didn't know I didn't know what was beyond those trees I didn't know who was in those houses But I knew the forest And I knew myself I built myself a home It was safe It was still And It was enough for me I built myself a home But seasons change And water flows And the tide carries you somewhere new Somewhere new to build a home Maybe now I can grow Maybe now I don't have to be alone Maybe now I can build a home For you
