Suddenly you notice all your photos on the shelf
And you don't even recognize the versions of yourself
Staring back and smiling with a glimmer in your eye
All the while pretending you're so
Happy you could die
[PRE/CH]
You say that you're home
But you don't believe it
You whispered it once
But you won't repeat it
All these years you've kept it to yourself
You learn to love the life you live so well
As near as I can tell
You wander down the hallway and you find the table set
You sit beneath the chandelier and
Light a cigarette
You hear the same old stories and you try to sound surprised
All the while pretending that there's something in your eye
[PRE/CH]
You say that you're home
But you don't believe it
You whispered it once
But you won't repeat it
All these years you've kept it to yourself
You learn to love the life you live so well
As near as I can tell
