House Of Pain

It's a little past supper time

I'm still out on the porch steps

Sittin on my behind, waiting for you

Wondering if everything is all right

Momma said come in boy don't waste your time

I said I've got time will he be here soon

Five years old and talkin to myself

Where were you? Where'd ya go?

Daddy can't you tell?

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 scripts 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 lie

The same old lie

How could you?

Well I was eighteen and still talking to myself

Where were you? Where'd you go?

Daddy can't ya tell?

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

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

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 alone again)

No there's no one home in my house of pain (2x)

(I'm alone again)

If I learned anything from this

It's how to live on my own!
