Children, don't you feel so alone Run back to your mommy and daddy at home For so long you'll think this house is so safe One day you learn you gotta get out of this place It's much worse than you thought before They're knocking down your bedroom door Already know where you'll end up Soon they'll see you knew yourself Because you're going home Leaving them behind their doors Take me to the only place I've never known When I'm no longer yours Children vanish like tracks in the snow Those pathways we refuse to follow Pretending nothing could befall this house We make believe this home is truly ours I'm not the child you think I am We never end where we began I've learned for myself right from wrong This is not where I belong I will be going home Leaving them behind their doors Take me to the only place I've never known When I'm no longer yours Dear Mama it's not the warmth I regret 18 years of a roof over my head What I need to show some respect I'll show you that I won't end up dead Not now because you're going home Leaving them behind their doors Take me to the only place I've never known When I'm no longer yours I was never yours
