When Your Home Don't Feel Like Home (Stripped) Lyrics

It never was peaceful, it never was quiet

I never was myself, I always was hiding

I tried to make it better and I wrote a little letter

I'll never make 'em change, don't know why I keep tryin

When your home don't feel like home

You can start to feel alone

But it's all that you have known

It's the place where you were grown

So you just go with the flow

'Til home starts to feel like home

And you can't tell right from wrong

'Til the day you say so long

And you make it on your own

You say you'll return but you don't

I'm never gonna be what they always envisioned

I get farther away with every decision

They write a little letter but it didn't make it better

I'm always gonna be just a little too different

When your home don't feel like home

You can start to feel alone

But it's all that you have known

It's the place where you were grown

So you just go with the flow

'Til home starts to feel like home

And you can't tell right from wrong

'Til the day you say so long

And you make it on your own

You say you'll return but you don't

A home that's not a home isn't built out of the blue

My only hope is that they'll finally see the truth

The love I needed is the love they needed too

A love so deep there's room for all of me and you

When your home don't feel like home

You can start to feel alone

But it's all that you have known

It's the place where you were grown

So you just go with the flow

'Til home starts to feel like home

And you can't tell right from wrong

'Til the day you say so long

And you make it on your own

You say you'll return but you don't

'Til the day you say so long

And you make it on your own

You say you'll return but you don't
