I Know What It Means Lyrics

Home is where the heart is they say

My heart used to reside with any man who'd say my name

Five letters sewn together into a title

Hearing it out loud felt as if my conscience was worthwhile

Until you loved me in silence

Home is where the heart feels at peace

My heart used to beat out of my chest with others

With you, it's serene

I've learned that love should be more calming than thrilling

Love has always had its excitement to the bone, so chilling

I may not always be your comfort, but I'll be your home

I won't bring order

There won't be a consolation

I will always be the thing you're fighting for

And when there's separation, I will make myself known to the people you know

But I'm a fire, and I'll keep you warm when ghosts start to show

They may relay a message hurting deep from years ago

But I will be a luminous light to your somber skies

Because I know what it's like

I know how it feels

And I know what it means to live in obscurity

Home is where your children feel safe

My inner child was running wild searching for a man she could save

Love felt like a crusade, and the roof was just a shelter in place

And all the bombs blowing chances were every word he would say

But you love me in silence

Home is where you go when there's nowhere else

Home ain't just four walls and some floorboards

It's asylum inside and out

This love is pure and strong

It isn't anything like love I've had before

Every man has always said that he loves me more

But you love me in silence

I won't be perfect

I won't be a foolproof creation

I will always be the one that calls too much, and when there's hesitation I may be the heftiest burden for someone to carry

I am a powerhouse

But I will be the one to conserve your precious peace of mind

I'll give you everything you deserve

I'll be your weapon of choice in any essential fight

Because I know what it's like

I know how it feels

And I know what it means to live with lacking esteem

I won't be pure

I may seem a little tainted

My heart has been hurt, but there is dedication

I'll love you in silence

I am able

I am grateful that I have you to love

And I'm so proud of all the work we've done

This has to be love

Because I know what it's like

I know how it feels

And I know what it means

I know this is real

And I know what this means
