I'm Home
*I got my own place today
And I did this without you
Turned the key and unlocked the door
And saw the empty rooms
The empty rooms reminded me
That although you wont be here
I'll have a chance to fill the rooms
With memories I'll hold dear
I can paint the walls with colors
Brite and pleasing to my eyes
Cover up past pain and hurt
Now knowing I'll survive
I can look out each new window
Or look in and see the views
And never see a memory
Of the times I spent with you
I will place my pictures on the walls
Let your memory fade from view
And rearrange my future
To allow for something new
This new place I have will be my home
Where new memories will be made
It all began when I turned the key
As I walked in today
I'm Home
I'm Home*

I tried to show the emotion and hurt and at the same time the healing. I also wanted to stay true to both the physical as well as the emotionaal move.
